The rounds 12 and 13 were of the Formula BMW Pacific was held
at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, Singapore. Yesterday in race 1, Aditya
Patel driving for Eurasia Team had his career best
performance of 7th place. The race 2 was held on Sunday before the F1
races. Starting the race again from 17th and last on the grid, due to a
qualifying mishap and red flag situation, Aditya picked
his way through a strong field, and showed his absolute class.
The first lap saw the safety car out for one lap , and then it was all
go!
Aditya thrilled the huge Indian crowd
with a dazzling display of driving, and made some overtaking manouvers
that got the entire crowd on their feet.Cutting and slicing through the
field, the young Indian worked his way up to eight position, and lined
himself up to pass team mate Marlon Stockinger on the last lap.
Unfortunately, a hasty Simon Moss, eager to get back the position Aditya
snatched from him, flew over the curbs and spun Aditya
out. Aditya restarted and
rejoined the race and finished 13th. All in all, a great weekend for
this promising Indian racer.
