That’s right, the FIA Formula Two Championship 2012 is just around the corner, with the first race on the Silverstone circuit scheduled for 13-14-15 April.
The engines will at last be firing up for some real racing. Although I wouldn’t have minded having a few extra days’ testing, I’m delighted to be setting off on this new adventure and I’m keen to see where I am performance-wise with the Williams Formula 2 and to lay the foundations for development and improvement over the rest of the season.
As we’ve already seen in the official group test sessions at the Northhamptonshire circuit, my adversaries are going to be tough and the fast, technical circuit will hardly help me adapt to a car behind the wheel of which I’ve really spent very little time.
Still, that’s going to be true for at least for half the field of around 20 cars: it is estimated that half the grid will be composed of rookies like your truly and the other half of more experienced drivers who starting their second or third championship. I’ll be keeping you all up to date via my official Facebook page and Twitter while you can actually watch the races live on Motors TV or via an online stream directly from this site under the F2 TV section or from the official championship site www.formulatwo.com.
