From Formula Master Championship
JD Motorsport's Chris van der Drift claimed his sixth win of the season today in the final round of the 2008 Formula Master season in Monza.
The newly-crowned Formula Master winner started the race in seventh and climbed steadily through the field, reaching second place when the safety car was deployed following an incident between Cram Competition team-mates Arturo Llobell and Frankie Provenzano.
Using Josef Kral's slipstream at the restart, van der Drift overtook the Team JVA driver for the lead before racing to victory. Kral eventually finished third, having succumbed to Jenzer Motorsport's Fabio Leimer on lap 16.
Finishing second, Leimer was also able to secure the runner-up position in the Series.
Trident Racing's Michael Ammermüller claimed fifth place in today's race. The German narrowly missed out on a point in yesterday's race which would have made him the only driver to score in every round this season.
With the second Formula Master season now coming to an end, Chris van der Drift has secured the Drivers' title as well as a test prize with the Honda Racing F1 team. The New Zealander is also set to race in GP2 Asia.
Leimer is in second place and will test with the Trident Racing GP2 team. Ammermüller is third, having also won the Rookies Classification; the German is set to receive a test with WTCC team N.Technology as well as an Indy-Lights test in America.
JD Motorsport is this year's Team Classification winner, whilst van der Drift and Afanasiev are the Best Team-mates victors and will receive a test in America with the Grand-Am series.
