Ontario, Canadá.- Ricardo Escotto cerró su participación en Canadá con buen aprendizaje y más kilómetros recorridos en la USF Pro 2000 al celebrar las rondas 12 y 13 de la temporada en curso.

El piloto originario de la Ciudad de México cerró otro fin de semana de desarrollo a bordo del auto #4 Jay Howard Driver Development en el circuito callejero de Toronto, donde tuvo una doble jornada de carreras de la prestigiada serie, que forma parte del sistema de desarrollo de IndyCar.

Para la carrera 1 del día sábado, Escotto se enfrentó a una disputa con lluvia, la cual también se vio marcada por una bandera roja. Finalmente, la competencia se pudo reanudar y disputar con las 25 vueltas pactadas, con el mexicano cerrando en la novena posición. Posterior a la carrera, fue penalizado con 30 segundos por trabajos en su auto bajo bandera roja, relegándolo hasta la décimo tercera posición y dejándolo sin su respectiva cosecha de puntos.

En la carrera 2 del día domingo, una vez superadas las dificultades de la carrera 1, las cosas se verían más favorables para el piloto de Jay Howard Driver Development, sin embargo se vio atrapado en un incidente que tuvieron dos pilotos delante de él, frenando todo esfuerzo que pudiera hacer más que completar los 25 giros asignados para terminar en la posición 15. Más adelante fue sancionado de nueva cuenta con 30 segundos, por tener demasiados miembros de su equipo trabajando en su auto, a consecuencia del incidente al comienzo de la competencia.

A pesar de no haber obtenido el resultado deseado, el mexicano se va con todo lo positivo de esta cita, logrando el segundo mejor registro en la práctica, haber remontado importantes lugares y los mejores tiempos de ambas carreras. Con miras al final de temporada, la siguiente cita del serial estadounidense se llevará a cabo del 24 al 27 de agosto en el Circuito de Las Américas, en Austin Texas.

Ricardo Escotto:
"Fue un fin de semana bastante positivo, aunque los resultados no lo demuestran tanto pero la verdad hicimos mucho progreso. En la práctica fui segundo, en las calificaciones tuve problemas técnicos qué me impidieron sacar todo nuestro potencial y arranqué hasta la parte de atrás. En la carrera 1 llegué hasta noveno y logré hacer la vuelta más rápida de la carrera, en la segunda fue igual, iba desde el lugar quince y hubo un choque enfrente de mi y no tuve para dónde irme. Logré salvar el auto pero ya iba muy rezagado, afortunadamente logré ser el piloto más rápido en la pista y eso nos da la confianza para ir a la siguiente fecha en el Circuito de Las Américas (COTA) y pelear los primeros lugares".

El piloto mexicano Ricardo Escotto se hizo de un top-10 en uno de los circuitos permanentes más emblemáticos de Estados Unidos, donde la Indy Pro 2000 disputó el fin de semana pasado su sexta cita de la temporada.

El novato de la categoría, que forma parte del sistema de desarrollo de IndyCar, se adentró al Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course por primera vez teniendo el tiempo encima para una rápida adaptación al trazado de 2.258 millas.

Luego de un día de pruebas y una tanda de prácticas, el viernes salió a calificar, haciéndose del lugar 18 de salida para la carrera 1 y el sitio 15 para la segunda justa, donde veinte bólidos integrarían la parrilla de salida.

En el monoplaza #4 de Jay Howard Driver Development, Escotto tuvo oportunidad de ascender nueve posiciones en la primera carrera del sábado, escalando al noveno peldaño luego de las 21 vueltas pactadas, a 9.789 segundos de diferencia del ganador. Para la segunda disputa ese mismo día, se quedó a un paso del top-10 cerrando décimo primero luego de 30 giros.

Tras esta fecha, el mexicano que ya tuvo una victoria, espera seguir sumando experiencia pues ya ocupa la posición 12 en el estado del campeonato con un total de 110 unidades: siendo además el octavo mejor ubicado dentro de los novatos. La siguiente fecha en el calendario se llevará a cabo en las calles de Toronto del 14 al 16 de julio, sosteniendo una nueva ronda doble.

Ricardo Escoto:
"Mid-Ohio fue una pista nueva y muy difícil. Fui de los pocos que era su primera vez ahí y eso nos dio un poco de desventaja al empezar el fin de semana. Hicimos un buen progreso, mejoramos los tiempos y en la primera carrera acabé noveno, en la segunda en el décimo primer lugar. No está mal el resultado, teniendo en cuenta que era de los que no conocía la pista. Lo importante es que seguimos avanzando, vamos a seguir mejorando y seguir con actitud positiva".

* He’s the first Louisiana driver to achieve this honor

* He’ll participate at the Formula Ford Festival & the Walter Hayes Trophy in England.

*Jeansonne also got a ticket to compete in the USF2000 shootout for the $200k scholarship



* Recently he tested a USF2000 open-wheel car and won in the latest Lucas Oil Series round.


SULPHUR, Louisiana (October 7, 2017) – Aaron Jeansonne was chosen for the Team USA Scholarship. This gives him the opportunity to compete in the prestigious Formula Ford Festival, where you can only get an entry by invitation, which is held at Brands Hatch (Former Formula 1 track) and also he’ll race in the Walter Hayes Trophy at Silverstone (current F1 venue), both race meetings in England. Also, he got invited to the Mazda Road to Indy $200,000 USF2000 Scholarship Shootout.

“I can’t even put it into words… it’s such an honor to be chosen for the Team USA scholarship this year. It was only a wild dream a year ago and now it’s a reality. It’s insane! I waited very patiently and eagerly for the news and finally (Team USA Scholarship Founder and President) Jeremy Shaw told me to give him a call one day and the first thing he asked was if I wanted to go to England and my heart literally stopped. Of course, I replied: yes,” Jeansonne said.

“I’d never thought in my life that I would have the chance to represent the red, white and blue in anything, which makes this almost surreal, but I just plan to maximize the opportunity, have the time of my life and have as much fun as possible,” he added.

“I thank Team USA and all its supporters for everything and I believe it is the greatest program in the world in racing and without a program such as this, lots of very deserving drivers would have a much smaller chance of making it in this sport,” the 19-year old young man said.

Jeansonne is the first Louisiana native to become Team USA alumni and perhaps he is the least experienced of the participants, but managed to impress the racing community with his maiden victory in his debut in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series last year. Since then, Aaron has managed to achieve three wins and he’s a regular in the podium in all race weekends, with three second places and three third spots in his first full-season.

Almost a quarter of the drivers in this year’s Verizon IndyCar Series (five out of 21 full-season campaigners) such as: Josef Newgarden (won Formula Ford Festival in Kent Class, Indy Lights champion and 2017 IndyCar champion), A.J. Allmendinger (Champ Car Rookie of the Year and also NASCAR, IndyCar and Grand-Am driver), Charlie Kimball, JR Hildebrand, Conor Daly and Spencer Pigot, plus current sports car stand-outs Dane Cameron, Joel Miller, Joey Hand, Andy Lally, Bryan Sellers, Bryan Herta, Jimmy Vasser and Trent Hindman, are all Team USA alumni.

The Sulphur, Louisiana driver has been busy lately, since he was one of the four candidates for this year’s Team USA Scholarships who recently enjoyed the opportunity given by Bryn Nuttall of BN Racing to test a Tatuus-Mazda USF-17 at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois.

The young American driver and his peers received advice during the two-day outing by BN’s driver coach, Victor Franzoni, who recently clinched the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires, and former Team USA Scholarship winner Michai Stephens.

“I want to thank Bryn Nuttall, BN Racing, Team USA Scholarship, Jeremy Shaw and all those involved to make this test happen. This opportunity means the world to me. Bryn was very welcoming and I found him to be very easy to relate to. Having the chance to learn from Victor and Luke Varley was something I didn’t take for granted; I took in a ton of information in a very short amount of time.”

The young driver is already using some of the knowledge learned in the above test, since he’s carrying momentum to England fresh off a win in the latest round of the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series.

* En su última carrera con un Rotax Jr., el mexiquense dejó claro que está listo para subir al siguiente nivel en el automovilismo deportivo.
GUADALAJARA, Jalisco - El piloto mexiquense Manu Cabrera hizo una buena demostración de talento en el Grand Prix International, que tuvo como escenario el circuito de 1.55 Km de longitud ubicado en las inmediaciones del Estadio Omnilife, en un evento que también contó con la asistencia de figuras del automovilismo como el piloto de F1 Sergio Pérez, el campeón de la Súper Copa Antonio Pérez y el ex piloto de IndyCar Mario Domínguez, entre otros.

Cabrera calificó en el séptimo puesto de su categoría para el primer heat y luego del segundo heat, se clasificó en la sexta posición de arranque para la carrera final. Sin embargo, en una sorpresiva decisión de las autoridades en plena parrilla de salida, el subcampeón del Reto Telmex tuvo que partir desde la última posición, por una supuesta penalización que no se aclaró por falta de evidencia.

Sin embargo, Manu aceptó arrancar desde la última posición en un gesto deportivo al no querer entorpecer el arranque de la competencia. Cabrera remontó posiciones de manera sensacional para finalizar en la sexta posición, con lo cual no sólo demostró su talento sino también dejó la pregunta en el aire de qué hubiera sucedido si se le hubiera permitido arrancar desde su sitio original de arranque (sexto).

“Fue un fin de semana bastante complicado. Comenzamos las prácticas con un poco de problemas en el kart y estuvimos trabajando en él. Ya para el viernes en las prácticas oficiales del GPI comenzamos a hacer buenos tiempos. Hubo un poco de fallas en el kart que nos empezaron a echar para atrás en cuestión de tiempos, pero previo a la calificación logramos andar entre los primeros cuatro”, declaró el prometedor piloto, quien participó en su última competencia en la categoría Rotax Jr.

Ya para la calificación, pudimos colocarnos en sexto y nos mantuvimos ahí. En la primera carrera tuvimos algunas batallas con varios pilotos y en la segunda carrera avanzamos varios lugares. Ya para finalizar la carrera tuvimos un contacto con un compañero y originalmente las autoridades nos dieron una amonestación, después cambiaron de parecer en la parrilla de la carrera del domingo y con esto, tuvimos que arrancar desde el último lugar. Pudimos avanzar hasta el sexto lugar, con el cuarto mejor tiempo de la carrera (1’07.556)”, declaró el piloto que ahora se proyecta a una carrera internacional.

“Quiero agradecer a mi equipo Grupo Gateway Racing Team con VNL que siempre me estuvo apoyando cuando estuve corriendo en los karts y que ahora seguirá conmigo en la presente temporada”, concluyó.
