F. Regional Europe – Ticktum at Van Amersfoort Racing to target Macau

He had disappeared from radar screens since June 28, 2019, the date on which Dr. Helmut Marko had kicked him out of the Red Bull Junior Team detection program. Daniel Ticktum waited until the start of the school year to return to the seat of a car, much slower than the Super Formula he had last spring.

The 20-year-old Englishman has indeed found refuge in Formula Regional Europe with the Dutch team Van Amersfoort Racing (VAR). Daniel Ticktum will pilot one of the F3 black and orange and will have Sophia Flörsch and Alexandre Bardinon as teammates in Barcelona (Spain, September 21-22).

But the objective of the turbulent twenty-something is different. This is to become the first man to win the fearsome F3 Macau Grand Prix three times consecutively ! “The experience I will take with the team is a calculated step forward in my preparations for Macau (14-17 November) » indicated the double title holder. 

VAR boss Rob Niessink only sees positives in the arrival of Daniel Ticktum. “He brings a lot of experience and as such we think he will do well in Formula Regional Europe. We have worked hard to put everything in place before Barcelona and Dan can count on all our support he needs. »
