The Team Principal of Tech 1 Racing is the
45 year old ex-race driver, Simon Abadie.
The French-based team, which he runs
together with his sister Sarah, participates
in all three of the main Renault Sport
sponsored competitions: F.Renault 2.0
ALPS, Eurocup F.Renault 2.0 and Formula
Renault 3.5. Like many of the other teams,
they feature drivers from various different
countries, with the aim of promoting their
technical and professional development…
What would you say is the overall balance
of your participation in Formula Renault 2.0
ALPS thus far?
“Positive. It’s our third season in ALPS and
we’ve already won the championship twice:
the driver’s championship in 2011 with
Javier Tarancon, and the team
championship in 2012. This year we’re in
with a chance of second place in the
drivers' championship, although it's pretty
hard competing against team Prema; their
drivers know the tracks much better than
the others. I think it’s a top class
competition, and really well organised by
Domenico Porfiri and Barbara Petrivelli”.
The French team has
always played an
important role in the
competition organised by
Fast Lane Promotion,
and after winning the
drivers' title in 2011,
followed by the team
prize in 2012, they’re
back among the results
again this year with two
young drivers enjoying
their first experience of
single-seater racing
