The press release reads: One of the most eagerly anticipated championships on the Swedish motorsport arena this year, the new Formula Renault Sweden series, left nobody disappointed after a hectic season-opener in Karlskoga this weekend. Running as one of the support classes to the Swedish Touring Car Championship, the single-seater category attracted a full 19 cars – and Felix Rosenqvist got off to a decent start by finishing second in both races contested at the event. Additionally, the Team BS Motorsport driver got the fastest lap in the rain-hit first race and started from Pole Position in the second.
Felix comments: “These were my first real races in Sweden, not counting the karting years, and I have to be satisfied with the outcome. We knew we were fast in dry conditions, but since it rarely rained in Asia I don’t quite have the experience of racing in the wet as some of the others in the field, which was a concern ahead of the weekend. I managed to squeeze past Henri Karjalainen on the final lap in Race 1 and am happy with my two second places. Well done to Daniel and Team BS Motorsport for an outstanding performance”.
Felix continues: “There were a lot of talented drivers here, even more so than in Finland, and it’s good to know that the speed is there,” Rosenqvist concludes. “I’m actually particularly pleased with my fastest lap in Race 1, as it proved things are looking good for future wet races. Daniel was a little too fast today, but I’ll do my best to make sure that isn’t the case next time out!”
Premium Finance Group continues to support this amazing talent and driver on his upcoming worldwide races.
We wish you the very best luck Felix!!
