Joao Paulo had an other great weekend!
2 wins!
The first one was not that hard, but the second one was!

As well as the race on Saturday Joao Paulo de Oliveira dominated the competition of the German Formula3-cup at Lausitzring. But first he had to take some hurdles.

Originally JP was on pole position for this race but in the formation lap he suddenly had a problem with the seat belts. For this reason JP came back to the pits to solve the difficulties, but than he had to start from the pit lane.

While the other drivers started as usual from the starting grid Joao began his hunting to make up leeway from the pit lane. Like blazes the red single-seater rushed around the course, drove one fastest lap after another and overtook the other drivers. After 16 laps JP crossed the finishing line as first with 1.5 seconds lead in front of the Dutch Ross Zwolsman and the German Sven Barth.

Team-manager Sven Platteeuw very happy: "It was incredible what JP demonstrated. The race was thrilling for us - not good for the heart. The team stood at the pit wall and was amazed. We could see that it was not easy to overtake because the other drivers were also fighting for their race positions. And we always hoped that they see our fast car. But JP made it - unbelievable!"

Race result:
1. Joao Paulo de Oliveira
2. Ross Zwolsman
3. Sven Barth

I would like to see what JP can do at the masters in a view weeks!

Grtz a good friend of JP

[*formula3*]

that was a great race of him, i was there and when i went over to the grandstands to watch the race he was standing at the end of the pits well anyway, i hoped that he can still manage the podium, but what he did was incredible

cant wait for zandvoort either

[racingdick]

how did Justin Sherwood and the other guy driving for performance do>

[*formula3*]

cant remember how sherwood was doing, but ross zwolsmann finished 3rd and 2nd

in race two he was leading most of the time till JP came and overtook him
nontheless he was doing very well, his advantageover justin was that he already knew the yokohama tyres from last year when he did a couple of races replacing his older brother charles in german f3

[racingdick]

good result for Performance Racing..
maybe with the cars being competative in the german series would they consider swapping series!!??
