D.Tsimpris Motorsport will make history at the 2019 Euroformula Open season-opener in Paul Ricard later this month, as it will become the first-ever Greek team to take part in an international F.3-based series. The project lived its official kick-off earlier this week, when the Piedrafita-powered Dallara F312 driven by 19-year-old Dimitris Tsimpris took the track on home soil, at the Serres circuit near Thessaloniki, for testing.

It was almost a ‘christening’, given that also the rain invited itself to the tests, but the sessions were very useful to the Athens-based outfit for advancing in preparations ahead of the big debut. “We have an exciting challenge ahead of us”, confirmed team principal Vassilis Papavassiliu, “as we are new to F.3 racing and both the team and the driver have a lot to learn, but we are extremely determined to do well, progress quickly and reward all the support we are receiving at home. The Euroformula will have a tremendous level of competition this year, and this will make things more difficult for us but also more meaningful and rewarding!”
