Thailand's prospective Formula 1 racing driver, Sandy Stuvik, made his debut last weekend in the highly-competitive world of European Formula 3. The 18-year-old driver from Phuket has signed for the Formula 3 Open series with the championship winning Italian RP Motorsport team. During the off season, Stuvik practiced with RP Motorsport at Paul Ricard, Jerez, Varano and Mugello circuits, and is taking part with several F1 and GP2 drivers in a physically demanding training camp at Italy's Shape Driver center. In early testing the Thai driver has been able to post encouraging times for a championship challenge in his first season.
The European F3 Open counts some of the best drivers from all over the world, and with 26 F3 cars on the grid, the Thai driver will have to perform at his best to make it onto the podium.
Stuvik says he has had "two years of tough learning and development racing formula cars in Europe and I feel I am ready now to challenge for both podiums and the championship".
He races for the Royal Automobile Association of Thailand and is sponsored by The Pizza Company, Singha Corporation, Dacon Inspection Services and Sports Authority of Thailand.
The European Formula 3 Open championship starts at Paul Ricard Circuit in France on April 26-28. Live Timing and Live Video Streaming from the race can be found at www.f3open.net
