The venue for Round 10 of the 2017 FIA F2 Championship is the Circuito de Jerez and this will be the first time that the Spanish track has hosted a F2 or GP2 race. That is not to say that the F2 are not familiar with it as it is a popular test track and it has hosted the F2 teams (when they were still known as GP2) in 2013 and 2016 for pre-season testing. In the past the circuit has hosted the F1 Spanish GP and its mixture of different corners make it ideal for working on the setup of a car. Unusually this is a stand-alone race for the F2 cars as the F1 teams are headed for Japan this weekend
The Spanish team and their two drivers, Nyck de Vries and Gustav Malja, are looking forward to racing at Jerez as the last two rounds of the F2 Championship have seen the team back to the front of the field and the whole team are very confident that they will be able to target finishing on the podium in the two races. Additionally, this weekend has special significance for Racing Engineering as their base is at Sanlúcar de Barrameda which is just 40km from the Andalusian circuit.
