Formula 3000

Brask Management's young Danish driver Allan Simonsen had a brief run in Coloni Motorsport's International F3000 car last week. Simonsen drove this year for the Veloqx Motorsport Ferrari team in the British GT championship in an F360 with some impressive showings.

Because of there relationship with Coloni Motorsport Paolo Coloni offered to give Allan a brief run and, despite poor conditions, he established that he would be very competitive in this Championship.

Allan said: "It was a great experience and after just a few laps which Coloni kindly gave me, I know that I could be a front runner in this Championship". "We are all working hard to find the budget for me to be able to compete in next years Championship".

Formula Renault

Mike Spencer finished tenth in this weeks Formula Renault Winter series race at Brands. Lars-Christian Brask and Alf Boarer watched him on Saturday and commented that they witnessed "fantastic execution of race craft" that very much reminded them of Giorgio Pantano in his first outing in Formula 3 back in 2000.

Comparisons between Spencer and Pantano may well continue. Spencer convincingly won this year's Zip Formula Championship in what was his first season of car racing after moving up from Karts. His prize for winning is a season with a front running team in Renault for 2003.
