Sunday October 8, 2023: Trackday in Formula Renault 2.0
Great end to the season in Formula Renault with a sunny, almost summer-like Sunday for the Mercury Silver Gentlemen Drivers on the Nevers Magny-Cours Grand Prix Circuit
The Nevers Magny-Cours Circuit:
Spanning 4,411 km, the Nevers Magny-Cours Grand Prix circuit is ultra-technical, complete and varied. It offers many very interesting difficulties for pilots.
Having hosted numerous French Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Magny-Cours-Cours track offers a magical and prestigious setting for our amateur drivers.
A real privilege for single-seater enthusiasts to drive on such a beautiful circuit.
The arrival on the Adelaide braking is truly a magical moment! Just like the prestigious Nurburging bends, the 180°, Estoril, the Great curve, the Lycée complex...
Truly an unforgettable experience to live with your eyes wide open!
Gentlemen Drivers, VIP Driver Pack
For this October day, Mercury Silver entered its Formula Renault 2.0 single-seater in the Trackday category ( open to drivers with FFSA License) bringing together single-seater owners and circuit driving enthusiasts.
Hervé ( VIP Driver Pack Member ) and Alexis (car owner) shared 6 series of laps at the wheel of the Formula Renault 2.0 chassis Tatuus 521 (ex-Simon PAGENAUD).
The day was organized into 2 groups performing 6 series of 30-minute laps.
Group 1 brought together two magnificent Formula Renault 3.5s, Formula 3 and Formula 4 entrusted to experienced drivers.
Group 2 brought together Formula Renault 2.0s, all built between 2000 and 2009.
A beautiful day between Gentlemen Drivers
Arriving at the circuit at 8:00 a.m., Alexis discovered a nice puddle of oil under his car (number 12). A small defective pipe being the cause of this leak, Alexis and Hervé had to carry out their first series on a reserve car.
The mechanics sometimes play tricks! Nothing too annoying, however.
Thanks to Hugo for his efficiency in dismantling the flat bottom and the bodywork early in the morning in order to be able to change the hose.
Our two drivers were able to find number 12 in the following series!
All day long, series of laps followed one another to the great pleasure of all the drivers.
It is now time to prepare for the 2024 season!
