Superleague Formula kicks off
25 August 2008, Donnington Park
The long anticipated launch of Superleague Formula took place this weekend with the first event at Donington Park.
After claiming pole position in Saturday's qualifying, Beijing
Guoan FC won the first race and take an overall lead in the series
after 2 races.
"It's great to see the launch of this exciting series after so
much hard work has gone into its planning and preparation," said
Dan Fletcher, "It's particularly satisfying to see Beijing winning
the first race seeing as we were responsible for their
participation."
Superleague Formula chief Robin Webb was quick to recognise
FMMI's contribution. "FMMI have supported us from the start and
helped us sign strategically important clubs from Europe, Asia and
South America. We can't thank them enough for their highly
professional service."
