Pinnacle Motorsport now 2nd in FRegional Asia as season reaches halfway point

With a fresh driver lineup for 2022, Pinnacle Motorsport so far has managed to land on the podium 4x in the newly-renamed Formula Regional Asian Championship Certified by FIA. This places the Motorsport Ireland-licensed team 2nd in both the driver’s and team’s standings with 2 rounds still to go.

Pepe Marti heads the team’s charge in the junior single-seater championship. Moving up from Formula 4, the Spanish driver has proven himself to be a front-runner in the series. He landed a strong 4th during the curtain raiser at Yas Marina, followed by a pair of 2nd place finishes at the Dubai Autodrome a week later. In the team’s most recent outing, he lead for most of Race 3 and crossed the finish line in 2nd. Marti continues to impress as he now holds onto 2nd overall in the points and leads the rookie championship.

The reigning Spanish F4 champion Dilano van ‘t Hoff showed a lot of promise when he signed with Pinnacle Motorsport at the start of the year. However, he was forced to sit out the season opener due to health concerns. But the Dutchman had no issues getting up to speed upon his return and qualified on pole last week at the Dubai Autodrome. He has scored a podium so far with more expected to come.

Ayato Iwasaki also continues to improve at every outing. The Japanese moved up to FRegional Asia straight from karting and has so far achieved all his targets. He continues to improve at every event with an 11th best place finish at Yas Marina.

Switching from sportscars and prototypes, Salih Yoluc is performing well in his single-seater debut. He has managed to secure 5 podium finishes in the Masters Cup with 2 wins last week at Dubai.

The Formula Regional Asian Championship Certified by FIA resumes on February 12/13 at the Dubai Autodrome before heading back to Yas Marina a week later for the season finale.

John O’Hara, Team Director: “We’re extremely satisfied with how the season has gone so far. Pepe has been a real star and himself and Dilano are really pushing each other and the team forward. With two events remaining, we’re pushing harder than ever to achieve championship success.”

Accompanying Pinnacle Motorsport on their Formula Regional Asian Championship Certified by FIA campaign is Motorsport Ireland.
