But we also know that the season is still very long, and that I have to progress step by step little by little… 00 :02 :30 GFX Full page classification Race 1 His second win of the season means the young Spaniard builds on his lead in the overall points 00 :02 :43 Jingle Formula Renault 2.0 00 :02 :46 Feature « My Career » : Stoffel Vandoorne Stoffel Vandoorne is without a doubt one of the most promissing drivers of his generation, and he is belgian… After starting his career in go kart, on a home build machine designed by his father, the young boy was KF2 class belgian champion, second in the world cup the following year… The « Royal Automobile Club de Belgique » offered him the opportunity of a career in motorsport… 00 :03 : 11 ITW Stoffel Vandoorne (in French) We participated to the RACB selections, actually it was just to, at least, drive once a single seater car, and we won it ! So I was given the opportunity to drive in the F4 Eurocup 1.6 Renault, that was last season, and everything went well, I won the championship, and now I’m in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0. Starting the season in Motorland was difficult, we had some issues with the car, and a lot of bad luck, because during the first race we had a big crash, and somebody hit my car so the race finished there… And in the second race, I had to retire because of an electronic failure, I was really a bad week-end for me… Renault Sport Technologies Tél. : +33 (0)1 76 82 82 00 Z.A.

So we have to take this opportunity of training a good generation of belgian drivers, Vandoorne, D’ambrosion who enterd F1 this year, 3 or 4 very good drivers in single seater classes in belgium and Stoffle is one of them… I don’t know who will be the next, coming out from go-kart… I follow all the races but I don’t see anybody coming at the moment. After Stoffel we will maybe have to wait again 3, 4 or 5 years to have such a good belgian driver… He has the best chances to go on top, and we will try to help him the best we can for his step up from Formula 4 to Formula Renault 2.0… 00 :04:50 Of course in Spa Francorchamps, KTR and his belgian driver Stoffel Vandoorne are at the center of all the expectations. Even if the young gun has a lot to learn, he has great expectations for his home event… 00 :05 : 01 ITW Stoffel Vandoorne (in French) That will be a very good championship, the global level is very high, and here we are in the second meeting of the Eurocup, I really want to do well here in Spa in front of my home crowd, and I hope at least a podium finish this week-end… Of course I would like it to be as good as last year, when I won the F4 Race, it is always a good thing to win your home race… But it is not a source of extra-pressure for me… It’s a normal race, like the others…I’ll try to do my best… 00 :05 :36 Action clip : Do not talk 00 : 05 :45 Jingle Formula Renault 2.0 00 :05 :50 Highlights Formula Renault 2.0 Race 2 Daniil Kvyat got the better start and is first into the Raidillon.
