Álvaro Parente
Pilot for Aurora Racing Team in the team’s inaugural race in Valência he reached pole-position and handed over the car to his co-pilot Isaac Tutumlu at the pilot change with a 21-second margin over 2nd place.
The race was not won by the team - which would have been an historical win for a team in their inaugural race in such a competitive championship - because of an incredible misjudgement by one of the firemen present.
Álvaro Parente, one of the most famous motorsport drivers in Portugal, was previously champion of several important categories, including Formula 3 or the Renault World Series. He raced in 2009 at the GP2 Series sponsored by Aurora Group.
