The Fast Lane Promotion way
professionalism
and reliability
The two youngsters really highlighted the great character of the
Fast Lane series confirming that the "Filiere" concept really
works. And that's been true for the series' whole history with
many champions that are now in Formula 1 and moved their first
steps here. It's also confirmed by the fact that many F.1 Junior
programs send here their best talents. As it's usually explained
by the promoters, there are no secrets. Only a lot of work to
guarantee the technical parity at all levels and an organization
that is actually able to simplify things rather than complicate
them. The ALPS series has quickly become reliable, exactly like
the F.Renault Italia before, and the teams came from everywhere
in Europe. With this level of commitment and proficient work it, it
wasn't really hard to become a benchmark at international level.
But in order to stay at the top of the game, continuous
adjustments are needed. That's why there will be many
innovations from the 2015 season.
A similar schedule with
three races per weekend
The 2015 schedule will feature the same venues of this season.
Seven rounds are coming on tracks that are both renowned and
useful for the growth of young drivers. The ALPS teams and
drivers will take-off from Imola to continue at Bull Ring, Spa,
Monza, Mugello before the Jerez de la Frontera finale. The main
news is that in three of the weekends (Red Bull Ring, Monza and
Mugello) there will be a triple race. It will be a premium new
feature to enable the drivers to run more and more kilometers.
For the remaining events, there will be two races but with some
innovations. There won't be a single 30-minute qualifying session
but two separate 15-minute segments for Race 1 and 2. In all
rounds there will be two 60-minute sessions of practice, while the
race distance will remain unchanged: 25 minutes plus one lap. A
decision will shortly be taken on how to set the field for Race 3.
So now let's sit back, relax and wait for the engines to roar again.
