David Richert places 10th at the Misano World Circuit in Italy.
In just his second race weekend in the very competitive Formula Renault Italia Championship, Canadian race car driver and Niverville native, David Richert, was able to come away with a top ten finish at the Misano World Circuit in Italy.
With rain clouds looming all around the track, Richert drove his car to the checkered flag for a 10th place result on Sunday afternoon.
Richert’s success came with a little surprise as his lack of experience and level of funding is significantly lower than that of his competition, but what he lacked in raw speed, he was able to make up for with tact. Starting from the first lap of the race and continuing through two Safety Car periods, many drivers made mistakes which allowed Richert to capitalize on the opportunity for a strong race.
“There were a lot of fast drivers here this weekend…” stated Richert, “…but this just proves that if you drive with your rear-end instead of your head, things won’t always work out for you. So I was happy to drive around the carnage with a smile on my face.”
Richert is now on his way home to Winnipeg, Canada, prior to returning to Italy for future race events this season.
