ATS Formula 3 Cup

Win for the new OPC-Challenge

The debut of the latest ATS Formula 3 Cup engine generation couldn't have been more successful. Both rounds of the season kick-off - held within the scope of the Jim Clark Revival - were won by the new OPC-Challenge Engine. In front of a record crowd of 33,500 spectators, Belgium's Frédéric Vervisch prevailed in the Sunday round, with his Lola OPC-Challenge, while Dutchman Carlo van Dam (Dallara OPC-Challenge) won the Sunday race.

The new power unit was designed and built over the course of the winter by Spiess Motorenbau GmbH. The major advantages of the new OPC-Challenge: superior durability, lower costs and bigger revision intervals combined with the well-known high performance level. More than half the ATS Formula 3 Cup grid opted already now for relying on the latest Spiess-Power design.

The first two rounds of the season, held on the last April weekend at the Hockenheimring, demonstrated: the ATS Formula 3 Cup keeps on taking the fast lane. Thrilling races, with the rookies shining in particular, help the series to prosper more and more. In addition to the print-media coverage as extensive as usual, TV now also is highly interested in Germany's fastest single-seater series: on Saturday, 12th May, the motor-racing enthusiasts will have the chance of watching the season kick-off highlights once again in an exclusive 30-minute magazine broadcasted by German TV station Premiere from 11.10hrs.
