Joshua Raneri – Alberto Di Folco
The sole representative from Oceania in the ALPS championship is
Joshua Raneri who races for Marco Bragherio and Giacomo
Notarrigo’s Team Torino Motorsport. The team from Piedmont
entered a second single-seater, driven by Alberto Di Folco, another
Italian driver from the world of kart racing. Following the races in
Vallelunga, Raneri was unfortunate at Imola, where an accident in
race 1 prevented him from participating in the second race, whereas
things went even worse at Spa where he damaged his car after
going off the track during the practice sessions and was unable to
take part in qualifying or the races. Despite his inexperience, Di
Folco was immediately close to a points finish in the second race at
Vallelunga and managed to complete the races at Imola.
Unfortunately, because of Raneri’s accident, Team Torino was forced
to sit out the event at Spa.
Bruno Bonifacio – Luca Ghiotto – Antonio Fuoco
On their full-time return to F.Renault 2.0, Angelo Rosin’s team quickly found themselves at the top of the ALPS
championship, winning all six races held so far, as well as achieving all the pole positions. The first race at
Vallelunga went to Bruno Bonifacio; he was followed by the debutant Antonio Fuoco, a graduate of kart racing and
a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy program, who won the second race. Fuoco continued to dominate at
Imola, where he won both races, whereas at Spa it was Bonifacio’s turn again in the first race, while the second
race went to his team mate Luca Ghiotto. Another important victory went to Ghiotto who had led Italy to victory in
the F.Renault 2.0 Eurocup in Spa, the week before the ALPS meeting at the same circuit.
Jakub Dalewski – Juan Branger
Although Roberto Cavallari’s JD Motorsport team did not participate
at Vallelunga, they were immediately competitive at the F.Renault 2.0
ALPS meetings at Imola and Spa. The biggest surprise was the per-
formance of rookie Polish driver Jakub Dalewski, who scored points
with seventh and eighth place finishes at Imola, followed by a
podium finish at Spa where he was second in the final race. An
exceptional result for Dalewski, and the JD Motorsport organization
on their return to F.Renault. During the meeting at Imola, the Italian
team entered a second car driven by the Venezuelan Juan Branger
who continued to progress with an encouraging sixteenth place in
race one.
