Franco Colapinto returns to MP Motorsport

Sa participation aux Toyota Racing Series l’année dernière l’avait privé du statut de rookie lors de la dernière campagne de Formule Renault Eurocup. But among the young drivers who discovered the series promoted by the Losange in 2020, Franco Colapinto was the most impressive. 

Third in the championship, author of two victories and nine podiums, the Argentinian was only beaten by Victor Martins and Caio Collet, two very fast drivers who were in their third and second years. In 2021, there will no longer be Formula Renault but the MP Motorsport driver will continue the adventure with the Dutch structure in the brand new championship of the category, the Formula Regionale by Alpine.

He will be one of the big favorites and will have the opportunity to show it on Wednesday, during the first day of the pre-season tests played in Imola. As a reminder, Franco Colapinto (17 years old) was crowned F4 Spain champion in 2019, and brilliantly discovered theEndurance this winter during the Asian Le Mans Series. He was notably elected “rookie of the year” after his notable debut in Dubai and Abu Dhabi with G-Drive in LMP2. 

MP Motorsport has also confirmed the appointment of Dane Oliver Goethe alongside it. The young man (16 years old) finished 5th in the Spanish F4 championship last year. Note that there is still a seat available at MP Motorsport in FRECA, and even a second in the event that the Batavian team decides to enter a young woman in the championship.
