Lucas Oil Cars in Promising Start to F2 Season

Lucas Oil sponsored F2 car

(21th March, 2022) – 

Both Lucas Oil sponsored cars were in the points when the F2 motor racing season roared back into life in Bahrain, last weekend.

Strong performances over two eventful races promised to deliver a far bigger Round 1 points total for the DAMS team, but late technical problems for both cars restricted the team’s final total to just five points.

“It was an encouraging first round, notable for a terrific charge through the Sprint Race field by Ayumu Iwasa (Japan) in the #17 car on Saturday. Bad luck meant it was only rewarded with 1 point, but his achievement was followed by a fine run in the Feature Race by Roy Nissany (Israel) to secure 8th place and 4 points on Sunday,” says Dan Morgan, director of sales and operations for Lucas Oil product (UK). “Both cars were competitive, ran well and DAMS was very unlucky not to come away with a bigger points haul.”

Each F2 round involves a 45-minute Sprint Race, followed by a 60-minute Feature Race. All cars are designed around the same chassis and powered by the same type of engine and specification. They all use the same tyre brand.

The DAMS team is now heading for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (25-27 March) for Round 2.
