After the battle for championship points in the north east of Italy on the Rally Alpi Orientali Historic, the FIA European Historic Sporting Rally Championship will stay in Italy for Round 8, the Rally Elba Storico on 19-21 September. With just two rounds remaining the fight for the eight category titles and the team crown is now even more intense.

Another heavy rain shower ahead of the second 25-minute race of the FIA Historic Formula 3 European Cup at Zandvoort gave the drivers a tyre choice dilemma on whether to use slicks or wets. With broken clouds on the horizon approaching fast it was a difficult choice and one that would ultimately decide the destination of the 2019 titles.

Reigning Historic Formula 3 European Cup Champion Christian Olsen won the first of the two 25-minute races at Zandvoort with a dominant display to finish over 14 seconds ahead of the rest of the field from pole position. The Class 1 victory was secured by Valerio Leone, the Italian fighting his way back up the field after starting the race in the pitlane. His son Davide looked on course to win the class but the engine in the back of his March 783 let go two laps from the chequered flag while lying in third overall.

After a slight delay due to issues in the other sessions, qualifying for the 2019 FIA Historic Formula 3 European Cup saw Christian Olsen and Davide Leone capitilise on their Free Practice pace to secure the two class poles for tomorrow's first race.
