Nissan LM P1 star Jann Mardenborough had a race to forget in the second GP3 Series race of the weekend in Austria on Sunday.
He and his team mate Antonio Fuoco got a little too close during the race, making contact early on. Mardenborough pitted for repairs and recovered to 17th place.
Race one on Saturday went a lot better for Mardenborough. He started from 12th and had to react fast when his team-mate stalled on the grid in front of him. Once the track was cleared he and his other Carlin team-mate, Ferrari Academy driver Fuoco, set about making their way through the field. Jann made some great passes, securing fifth place at the flag.
“I had a good start and managed to avoid any contact in the first few laps and then tried to make up as many positions as possible,” said Mardenborough.
“My goal was to get into the top eight and into a good position for the reverse grid race, but we managed more than that and took more points with fifth.”
