Elkmann also prevails in the Euro Series

Following the major success in the RECARO Formula 3 Cup - Opel-Spiess engines have won all the ten rounds held so far - the successful combination now also prevails in the Formula 3 Euro Series. In the eighth round of the highly competitive series, Peter Elkmann succeeded in securing his maiden victory.

At the first weekend in July, Elkmann won the race at England's demanding Brands Hatch circuit. "It feels just great to have clinched the maiden Euro Series win for me and my team, Jo Zeller Racing," beamed Elkmann following his triumph in the 42-lap race. "The pole position turned out to be the key factor as overtaking is virtually impossible on this short track."

When crossing the finish line, the Erfurter at the wheel of his Dallara F306 Opel-Spiess held a 0.968-second lead over the runner-up, Monegasque Michael Herck. "I gave my very best to keep my opponents in check," added Elkmann. "Actually, my win never was jeopardised." His Team Principal, Swiss Jo Zeller who helped Peter Elkmann to secure the 2005 RECARO Formula 3 Cup title, also was happy after the Brands Hatch weekend. "This was a great corporate effort of team, engine and driver. Here, it's all about having a perfect set-up, an appropriately driveable engine and a clever driver."
