Firstly, Moscow Raceway will be a brand new circuit for me, and secondly,\u00a0I&#8217;ve never previously been to Russia. It&#8217;ll\u00a0be interesting to experience the\u00a0culture &#8211; motor racing is\u00a0good\u00a0at taking you\u00a0to new places\u00a0&#8211; and to race at a venue where we haven&#8217;t previously been. More than anything, however, I&#8217;m determined to turn our pace from\u00a0recent races into concrete results. We&#8217;ve been\u00a0very unfortunate lately, but I did claim pole at the Norisring last time out and\u00a0the potential is there when we get everything together.\u00a0I normally\u00a0adapt quickly to new circuits, and I&#8217;ve done quite a few laps\u00a0around Moscow Raceway in the simulator, so at least I know what way\u00a0the lap goes! I&#8217;m feeling well-prepared and\u00a0ready for the weekend ahead.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIME TABLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>All times local (GMT+04:00)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Friday\u00a011 July<br \/>\n<strong>Free Practice 1:<\/strong> 12.45 (40 minutes)<br \/>\n<strong> <strong>Free Practice<\/strong> 2:<\/strong> 13.30 (40 minutes)<br \/>\n<strong>Qualifying 1:<\/strong> 16.50 (20 minutes)<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u00a012 July<br \/>\n<strong>Race 1:<\/strong> 13.10 (35 minutes)<br \/>\n<strong><strong><strong>Qualifying 2: <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>17.40 (20 minutes)<\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u00a013 July<br \/>\n<strong><strong>Race 2:<\/strong> <\/strong>12.50 (35 minutes)<br \/>\n<strong>Race 3:<\/strong> 17.25 (35 minutes)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW IT WORKS &#8211; AN FIA F3 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP QUICK GUIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each round of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship is made up of three races, all of which are of equal length (35 minutes) and importance for the outcome in the title chase. The points structure mirrors that in use in Formula 1, running to the <strong>25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1<\/strong> system (with the top ten finishers in each race scoring points).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The grid<\/strong> for all three races is set in the two qualifying sessions. For Race 1, the starting order is established by the outright results of Qualifying 1, while the subsequent second qualifying session forms the grid for Race 2. For Race 3, the grid will be based on each driver&#8217;s second-fastest lap in Qualifying 2.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CALENDAR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The full 2014 calendar can be viewed <strong><a title=\"Calendar\" href=\"https:\/\/b106543.web05.cust.bluerange.se\/calendar\/?lang=en\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ENTRY LIST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FIA Formula 3 European Championship 2014 &#8211; <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiaf3europe.com\/en\/drivers\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">teams and drivers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW TO FOLLOW FELIX THIS WEEKEND<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WEBSITE<br \/>\n<\/strong>As always, www.felixracing.se will be fully updated throughout the weekend, with reports from each of the sessions that take place.
