Thread: Details on Romeo Kapudija

Hi,

I was wondering, does anyone know some racing details about this driver?
http: //www.driverdb.com/racingdriver12968.html

In the 1999 Atlantic series
1 race. 1 win. 1 pole position. 1 podium

I am guessing fastest lap too

The racing version of a one-hit-wonder?

He raced in the Long Beach race of 1999. In that race only four class B cars were entered and only two saw the checkered flag. (At one or perhaps two races that season there was only 1 class B car on the grid)

After some Googleing I found out that he's raced in SCCA in Formula Fords, ALMS and in Grand Am Cup.

This season he seems to be back in Grand Am racing for Matt Connolly Motorsports in a BMW M3.

I guess I have some updating to do.

Try tell that to the guy who won the series.

I've set up a rule that if there are two classes in the official results and they are using different spec cars I display them separately. In, for example, the National class of the British F3 series the National class drivers are not allowed to score points in the Championship class so they are racing a bit more on their own than other B-classes.

Regarding Atlantics there were a class B from the mid nineties (from the top of my head) to two years ago. In the early nineties the series still allowed different makes of chassis so it made sense to let all the old ones race as well. In the early 2000s I guess it was a good way of filling up the failing grid sizes as well.... When they got the new car and rules for Champ Car Atlantic the B class was dropped.
