It was a complicated weekend for the team led by Giacomo SACCHI – ABBATE, the Monegasque from the “Champion Marine” team, who didn’t take part in the final phase of qualifying (Q3). Placed 8th on the starting grid, Q3 is reserved for the 6 best times.
The Norwegian waters were perfect for this round 2 of the Formula 2 Inshore World Championship, with 18 entries in this competition where both male and female drivers take part in the event.
The Monegasque finished P8 after managing to hold his grid position, scoring his first points in this Formula 2 Norwegian Grand Prix.
Ranked P12 in the championship after 2 Grands Prix, everything remains possible to secure a top 5 finish in this highly competitive championship. With 4 events remaining, Giacomo Sacchi-Abbate will have to find the resources to optimise his boat for the next GP in Lithuania, “Klaipéda”, on August 18.
This will be followed by the Italian event ‘San Nazzaro’ on September 01, which will be decisive for the rest of the championship, with the hope of a podium finish like last season for the Monegasque in these two competitions.
