Vod:Bul Racing have confirmed the two drivers who will be racing at the final round of the 2016 Superleague season in the always unpredictable Brasilian Grand Prix.
After the retirement of Klumbis and Canapino still having real racing commitments to attend to the team sets off with a new partnership once again.
Risto Kappet returns to the car on a primary deal once his great Supercup season is over on Wednesday. Kappet knows the car well having raced it this year already and by doing the free practice at the last Grand Prix for the team. He will be attempting to better his 4th place for the team from Canada this year.
Joining the team for the very first time, partnering Kappet and trying to full the seat left by the reigning world champion is Rudy van Buren. Van Buren started the season at the now defunct Midnight team and scored himself two race victories along the way.
Risto Kappet:
"Extremely excited to be participating in the last round of SL this year. My 4 reserve drives this season have been on short notice and with mediocre performances, so I'm eager to put down a proper marker. It wont be easy with SC the previous evening, as the cars are fundamentally very different to drive. Also almost just as excited about partnering Rudy. Not only is he insanely fast by default, but its also very pleasing to communicate and work with someone who is also lit up with passion, desire and intensity to win and work for it. Anything can happen in the races, but there is proper reason to be hype!"
Rudy Van Buren
"Obviously I start on the back food because of the BOG penalty. On top of that I've been out of the Superleaque car for a good 5 months. That said, the preparation is going well and we hope to get a proper result out of it. When it rains everything is possible, though when it's dry we got to be realistic and a top 5 would be good."
With the team secure in 3rd place in the standings its a race where the pressure is off and the drivers and team can enjoy themselves...can VB do it for Philipp Puschke and get a top result?
