Formula Renault 3.5
Pons Racing, one of the stalwart teams in the Formula Renault 3.5 since 2004, and Zoel Amberg, the talented Swiss driver, are joining their forces for the next two seasons. The Swiss will make his debut in the 2012 Formula Renault 3.5 Series at the wheel of one of the cars of Pons Racing.
Zoel Amberg joined the team in the recent testing session at Motorland Aragón, and both parties were positively impressed with the work done together. Despite his young age (19), Zoel Amberg can claim significant achievements in his single-seater career, which started in 2009. A Champion of F.Renault 2.0Switzerland in 2010, the Luzern-resident driver has been also a race winner in the F.Abarth that same year. In 2011, he raced in GP3 and in the final stint of the European F3 season, where he clinched a win in Barcelona and three other podium positions. Pons Racing will announce shortly the rest of its 2012 driver line-up.
