Russian Vladimir Atoyev and Frenchman Mathieu Vaksiver as part of SMP Racing team will perform in Formula V8 3.5 championship.
It is interesting that both pilots originally intended to deal with the team Spirit of Race, which is a subsidiary of the project team AF Corse, cooperating with SMP Racing. But in the end it all went under the other plan.
As for «the Formula Renault 3.5», the Renault refused to support its 3.5-liter «Formula». Assignee series became the new championship Formula V8 3.5. It organizes the promotion company RPM Jaime, who was the promoter of «Formula-Nissan» from 1998 to 2005. In the future, this series has teamed up with the Formula-Renault V6 and was renamed Formula-Renault 3.5. In general, things are going in circles.
The first stage of Formula V8 3.5 will be held April 16 at the racetrack, «Aragon».
