Jack France takes part in World Cup in Netherlands & UK Shootout
19 Aug 2024
NAPA Racing UK’s Jack France TOOK his distinctive BriSCA F1 machine to the Netherlands for a second time this year TO TAKE part in Raceway Venray’s biggest ever World Cup event on 16th to 18th August, Securing a position in the event due to high standing in the UK points championships.
“We’ve loved competing overseas this year, this was our 3rd international event. It’s great to mix with fans far and wide and the NAPA brand is recognised everywhere we go! With the UK based World Final no longer a certainty, we’re chasing all the other competitions we can,” commented Jack ahead of Venray. Alas, a puncture in his Semi Final on the 3rd of August has all but ruled him out of the World Final being held in Skegness, but there is one more attempt to qualify with two places on the grid up for grabs on the Consolation Semi Final, on the day of the World Final.
Raceway Venray is a tarmac track located in the east of the country and features a NASCAR style banked ½ mile oval as well as a ¼ mile oval used by BriSCA F1 and F2 stock cars along with other formulas such as Saloon Stock Cars and Ministox. The World Cup event features all of those formulas and will be a great event.
