Bono Huis has won the FSR Special Winter Event at Monterrey last Thursday!

The fifteen (!)  year-old Precision Motorsports driver has left behind major opponence such as Lee Morris, David Greco, Patrick De Wit and Bruno Marques who finished 2nd - 5th respectively.

Star-Guest of the evening, David Martinez, drove a strong race, at times battling the three times FSR World Champion Bruno Marques, until he spun off the track with ten laps to go.

In qualifying, David Greco marked pole-position with an impressive time of 1:04.284m closely followed by Patrick De Wit, Lee Morris and Bono Huis.
David Martinez achieved the fifth best time, placing himself in front of Bruno Marques.

As the race was go, at the front everything stayed according to qualifying order, except David Martinez fell back a couple of positions after a Launch Control malfunction, but regained seventh already in the first lap, then pressuring both Laurent Keersmaekers and Bruno Marques ahead.

The first lap saw a few accidents at the back of the field with three drivers losing their front wing, including new talent Fabrizio Gobbi who had to give up after only three laps.
World Series driver John Debacquer soon established himself 'best of the rest' and eventually finished the race in seventh position.

At the front, meanwhile, Patrick De Wit passed David Greco for the lead after eight laps into the race, now followed by Bono Huis who made the pass against Lee Morris.
It then turned out that both De Wit and Greco opted for a one-stop-strategy, just like Keersmaekers, Marques and Martinez further behind.
Huis and Morris, however, found a way to make their tyres last the whole distance which eventually gave them crucial advantage and made them finish first and second, with Greco trying a late and unsucessful passing manouver against Lee Morris. Patrick De Wit fell behind Greco after the pitstops to finish fourth.

Meanwhile, Bruno Marques eventually passed Laurent Keersmaekers for fifth. David Martinez then tried to make up time and pressure the Belgian, however got it wrong at one of the difficult chicanes on the Monterrey track, spun off and stalled the engine.

Nevertheless, FSR's drivers were impressed by Martinez' strong showing and rumours say the Mexican will soon be back racing within FSR.

Formula SimRacing would like to say a big thank you for David Martinez and all the other drivers providing a fantastic show, before the actual first season event finally kicking off this week-end in the desert of Bahrain!
All teams have now sent in their car designs and the FSR 2010 Mod Version 1.0 release is to be due out tomorrow.
