Luca Orlandi Re-signs with Team West-Tec F3 for 2012 as European F3 Open adds more F1 tracks

Luca Orlandi is the first driver to be announced for 2012 by new European Formula 3 Open Champions Team West-Tec, returning after a debut F3 season which saw him finish third in the Copa Class.

The competitive  Italian  will graduate to  a  Dallara F308,  the new Copa Car, that the team should race alongside the brand new Dallara F312 in 2012.

The European F3 Open schedule for 2012 has also been announced with the world’s best F3 calendar being improved still further with the additions of Nurburgring GP, the Hungaroring and Paul Ricard.

With qualifying changes also mooted to add even further track-time, the full track schedule for 2012 is now:

Portimao, Algarve
Nurburgring GP
Spa
Brands Hatch GP
Paul Ricard
Hungaroring
Monza
Barcelona

Luca Orlandi:
We had a good year in 2011 and I am looking to improve in 2012. I know it will be hard as the Copa is always at its strongest when a new chassis is launched, but I am up for the challenge!

John Miller, Team West-Tec:
Luca is a great member of the team and we are delighted to welcome him back.
I am also pleased to be able to confirm that we will also be continuing our sponsorship with Orlandi Realty, Luxurious Homes which will continue to feature on all of our Formula 3 cars.

Gavin Wills, Team West-Tec:
Luca always gives it everything, and is a real positive member of the
team. He will start testing for next year soon, when we go to Spain in December.
