Tuukka Taponen There was a fine six-race scoring tube as he prepared for the F3 Series sprint race in the suburb of Barcelona.
Lohja got to the race nicely from the fourth screen, but the joy was short-lived because Taponen did not get his Art car properly in motion as the start lights went out.
The pursuit of a Finn who had suffered from switch problems Rafael Câmara Vähä was shocked after the Art car.
The two became the first interruptions of the race.
Of course, the opening round also came Tim Tramnitzin, Martinius Stensphornen and Roman Bilińskin to fate. In other words, the drivers starting from the starting screens 1-4 were all on the sidelines.
Eventually the race was driven by a Portuguese Ivan Domingues.
On Sunday, Taponen still has a good opportunity to replace his disappointment. He starts the weekend’s main race from the ninth screen.
Sunday’s F3 race starts at 9.30am.
