6.12.2020 – Konsta Lappalainen collect 6th position in highly competitive FIA F3 Regional European Championship series – Two podiums in Monza were highlights of the season 2020

In 2018 Flying Finn Konsta Lappalainen won SMP F4 NEZ Championship which was certified by FIA. In season 2019 he entered F3 Regional European Championship series and finished it in 11th position. Now in season 2020 he improved the results by five positions as he was 6th in overall standings of the highly competitive European racing Formula -series.

Season 2020 supposed to get underway in May 2020. However due Covid-19 Worldwide pandemic it finally started in first weekend of August at italian circuit of Misano Adriatico. Since then there has been intense competition in eight racing weekends which all included three rounds.

Lappalainen steadly finished the events in P5-P8 positions. However at the end of October he was really flying as he collect P2 and P3 from Monza. Because he steadly collect good Championship points from each racing weekend of the series, he finished the series in 6th position and helpt his team KIC Motorsport to secure teams’ silver medal.

– Season 2020 was very competitive as in each round of the series I had to give my best. During the season we drove many wet races which provided possibilities to passings. Otherwise on dry surface it was pretty much defending the position you had collect in qualifyings, Konsta Lappalainen tells.

– Monza was truly a big enjoyment as I had missed very much on podium positions. P2 and P3 in Temple of Speed was the result I had hoped from each racing weekend of the season. However as the competition was very intense this season, I’m very happy for the sixth position as it was five positions better than season 2019 overall standings were. I’m also very happy that I could help my KIC Motorsport team to collect silver medal in Teams Championship series, Lappalainen continues.

During the season no-one in KIC Motorsport could match their pace against Prema Powerteam drivers. Therefore top-3 positions in final stadings were positioned by italian team drivers as Gianluca Petecof secured his first-ever F3 Regional title in final round of the series as his fellow team-mate Arthur LeClerc was caught by wet surface and he spun into retirement. Therefore brazilian Petecof won the series and KIC Motorsport fellow finn Patrik Pasma was 4th in overall standings.
