Van der Drift's fourth place still to be confirmed
15 June 2009 02:37pmNew Zealand driver Chris van der Drift grabbed fourth placing in the second race of the third round of the Renault 3.5 world series motor race in Hungary this morning.
But the Formula Master champion's result is provisional as the Kiwi's Epsilon Euskadi car tipped Adrian Zaugg into a spin on the opening lap.
The gentle nudge had expensive consequences. Zaugg's car ended up broadside across the track, triggering a spectacular five-car pile-up.
Fellow New Zealander, Brendon Hartley came out worst off in a heated tussle for fifth place with former Carlin Motorsport F3 teammate, Jaime Algersuari.
The contest ended when Algersuari tagged the rear of Hartley's Tech 1 car sending Hartley off the road. The New Zealander recovered to finish 13th.
The race was won by Pasquale de Sabatino with Marco Marba second and Julian Leal third.
The outcome of van der Drift's meeting with race control will determine the other finishing positions.
