Rain strikes again at Magny-Cours
Magny-Cours wasn’t new for the team as both KMP drivers have participated to one day of private testing on this track in March prior to the meeting. After one day of collective tests, where drivers focused their work on finding the best setup depending on the weather conditions, Anton Nebylitskiy and Victor Garcia continued to improve their qualifying form, respectively setting the 5th and 12th grid positions.
Rain hit again the Formula Renault 3.5 championship this year as heavy showers appeared two hours before the start of the Saturday race. Both drivers didn’t manage to finish in the points in these difficult conditions. Sunday race was again disappointing, even if Victor Garcia improved his best grid position by setting the 10th best lap, as a short rain fell on the starting grid, making the two drivers start with rain tyres, what wasn’t the most appropriate option as track quickly dried.

KMP Racing scores first podium at Brno!
After two free practice sessions dedicated to the learning of the Brno track, new for the team and its drivers, KMP duo managed to qualify theirs cars in the first half of the field for the first race. Anton Nebylitskiy made a impressive start from 10th to 5th position in the first lap before gaining two other places to set the first podium of the team. Victor Garcia had to retire after a spin when battling in the field.
Second race was however more disapointing: Nebylitskiy had to retire in the first lap after a collision while his teammate finished the race at the 20th position.
