The next stage of the German Formula 3 championship was a milestone for the team Max Travin Racing: success achieved both pilots of the Russian team, and the team founder Maxim Travin was the winner of the tournament in one of the categories.
A couple of weeks ago, Mykola Martsenko got his first points, and now he finished in step from the podium in the first five of the German Formula 3 championship there is a Danish, an Israeli, and even a representative of New Zealand-but there is not a single German! Is there more convincing evidence that this tournament has long outgrown the status of national championship? If necessary, you can get a long list of Formula 1 drivers (and again, not necessarily Germans), on the way to the top of the auto port of the past through these competitions. The German Championship is one of the most competitive and prestigious tournaments, where, on the one hand, pilots have gained experience in relatively powerful and fast cars with quite advanced aerodynamics, and on the other hand, they get to the eyes of "talent hunters" and begin to build their own reputation. In the course of the race in Assen, the Krasnoyarse had to overtake and defend his positionsRussians repeatedly went to the start of the race of German Formula 3, and in the last few seasons the most active player among the Russians became the team Max Travin Racing. The most modern technique (the car Dallara of the 2007 specification with the VW engine) is Mykola Martsenko, a young racer from Krasnoyarsk this year. The season and a half of the season has gone on to become addictive to not the easiest race car, the development of the tracks, the building of an understanding with the team-and finally these efforts have yielded results. At the penultimate stage in the Dutch Assens, the Russian pilot twice (each racing weekend consists of two races) finished in the first ten-in the fourth and sixth place. Moreover, at the stage of the stage, Nikolay was able to demonstrate almost all the important qualities for a quality driver. And the net speed, compared to the previous races on this route, Martsenko, has reduced its backlog from the leaders of two or three times. And the skills of confrontation-on the course of the second race, he played four positions. And the ability to work with the team to take the right tactical decisions: Nikolay did not change into the rain rubber, when the first race went a great rain (most of the pilots did so and lost in half a minute on average). Maxim Travin (left) is a permanent visitor to the TrophyFounder of the team Maxim Trawyn (famous for performances in Russian ring races) and has achieved the maximum possible result-he became the winner of the championship at Trophy. In this category (representatives of which go to the start simultaneously with all), the results of the riders who are performing on the relatively old technique are taken into account. Young and truly talented athletes in Trophy are relatively rare-rather it is a "dushina" for those who in Formula 1 are no longer in their satisfaction. But this does not mean that the pilots of this category are completely deprived of their ambitions and are driving at full strength-Maksym Trawyn, one of the races in Assene, was not lost among younger riders on more modern techniques, finished eighth and scored first points in the absolute set-off of the championship. This year, the German Formula 3 Champion became New Zealander Richie Stanwy
