Barcelona and Motorland conclude 2010 season
Last race of the 2010 season was held at Barcelona. First race of the week-end was quite disappointing for the team as Anton Nebylitskiy had to retire from the first race after having also suffered from a penalty on the starting grid due to a leaking fire extinguisher. Starting 13th on the grid of the second race, he managed to win positions and finish 7th.
Victor Garcia suffered a hard home event after promising testing in March, being hit in the first corner of the Saturday race by another car before losing control of its Dallara under the rain in the second race.
For its first year in the championship, KMP Racing is ranked at the 10th place of the teams’ championship whereas its two drivers, Anton Nebylitskiy and Victor Garcia, are respectively 14th and 24th.
Following the season finale, five days of winter testing were organized at Barcelona and Motorland where KMP Racing evaluated French racer Nelson Panciatici alongside Nebylitskiy. Marco Wittmann (2nd in F3 Euroseries) and Bastien Borget (2nd in Swiss FR2.0) also sampled the KMP cars thanks to an invitation from Renault Sport.

Strong showing at Silverstone
Anton and Victor used the two 1h15 sessions of Friday to adapt their car setup to the specificities of the Silverstone track, especially the new section. Starting from 6th and 7th rows of the starting grid, they managed to avoid early incidents to finish the first race of the weekend both in the points, always staying on championship leader Mikhail Aleshin slipstream.
Starting 7th on the grid of the second race, Nebylitskiy made a clean race to finish 5th thanks to a delayed pitstop strategy. Victor Garcia suffered from a puncture in the first half of the race following a contact with another car and had to restart last but managed to set the second fastest lap of the race.
Last race of the season will be held at Barcelona track from 8th to 10th October.
