Leading Malaysian racing driver, Jazeman Jaafar, heads off to Jerez in Spain this week for the final round of the 2014 Formula Renault 3.5 Series. As the championship reaches its conclusion, Jazeman is looking to finish his season with two strong races.

The Circuito de Jerez in Andalusia is a favoured track of many series, with the technical challenges of the circuit combined with the warm weather of the region, proving to be a great venue for top level motor racing. It has featured on the Formula Renault 3.5 Series calendar for many years and is a popular track for Formula One testing.

Jazeman looks ahead to his final two Formula Renault 3.5 Series races of the year saying, “I can’t believe we’re already reaching the season finale – it doesn’t seem so long ago that we were just starting out in Monza – how time flies! I really enjoy Jerez as the track really does have long sweeping corners, without any chicanes to break the rhythm, and that makes it quite fast too. With eight right-hand and five left-hand corners, there’s plenty to keep me busy behind the wheel.

“For these last two races I will be going all out to bring together the ISR Racing team and all our hard work of the season to achieve the results we know we’re capable of. We’ve had some good qualifying sessions and strong results during the year and I want to finish on a high note in Jerez.”

The race weekend starts on Thursday for Jazeman, when he will arrive in Jerez to walk the track with his engineers. This is his first chance to reacquaint himself with the circuit layout, before getting in his FR 3.5 car for the first practice session the next day. With two practice sessions on Friday to prepare, Saturday and Sunday feature a qualifying session and 40 minutes race on each day.

Race 1: Saturday 18 October at 14:00 local time
Race 2: Sunday 19 October at 13:45 local time

 

JAZEMAN MAHU TAMATKAN MUSIM 2014 DENGAN CEMERLANG

Pelumba handalan negara, Jazeman Jaafar mengimpikan aksi yang sempurna menjelang pusingan akhir Siri Formula Renault 3.5 di Litar Jerez, Sepnyol, hujung minggu ini.

Litar terletak di Andalusia yang menjadi litar kegemaran bagi kebanyakan pelumba kerana dipenuhi cabaran teknikal dan cuaca panas bakal menjadi venue sesuai untuk perlumbaan bertaraf dunia.

“Saya tidak percaya kini sudah sampai ke penghujung musim rasanya baharu sahaja kami memulakan musim di Monza, cepat sungguh masa berlalu! Saya sangat menyukai litar Jerez kerana ianya mempunyai selekoh yang panjang dan ia memudahkan untuk memecut. Dengan lapan selekoh kanan dan lima selekoh kiri, pasti ianya akan menjadi perlumbaan yang mencabar.”

“Bagi dua perlumbaan akhir ini saya akan memberikan aksi yang terbaik bagi memcapai keputusan yang saya dan pasukan (ISR Racing) percaya kami mampu perolehi. Sepanjang tahun ini kami pernah memperolehi keputusan yang baik dan ianya menjadi motivasi kepada saya untuk melakukan yang terbaik di Jerez nanti.”

Jadual perlumbaan minggu ini bermula pada Khamis dengan Jazeman akan mengkaji litar bersama jurutera. Ini merupakan peluang bagi Jazeman untuk mengenali litar dengan lebih baik sebelum menjalani dua sesi latihan pada Jumaat. Sementara sesi kelayakan dan perlumbaan pertama dan kedua akan berlangsung pada Sabtu dan Ahad.

Perlumbaan 1 : Sabtu, 18 Oktober (14:00 Waktu Tempatan
Perlumbaan 2 : Ahad, 19 Oktober (13:45 Waktu Tempatan)
