MILLVILLE, N.J. (July 2, 2012) - Competing at the ultra-fast New Jersey Motorsports Park this past weekend, Robert La Rocca and his Auto-Errante - HP Tech Motorsport squad dominated each and every on track session in the F2000 Championship Series. Leaving the fourth round of the 2012 schedule, the Venezuelan pilot holds a commanding points lead in the overall championship chase with only three doubleheader weekends remaining.
"This was another awesome weekend for me and my team," expressed an elated La Rocca upon event completion. "It is our third weekend sweep this season and was great for points. I am really looking forward to the remaining events."
For rest the F2000 Championship Series drivers, La Rocca made the NJMP event a bore. Scoring the pole positions for both rounds seven and eight by nearly a second on his closest competitor, the Florida resident went on to secure Saturday's race win by 14.653 seconds, en route to the fastest lap of the race. Sunday was much of the same for La Rocca, as he managed to turn his pole position into another victory, as well as besting Saturday's fastest race lap, all while scoring maximum points on the weekend.
"It feels good to be the guy that everyone is shooting for. In motorsports, when people are out to get you, you know you are doing something right."
During his off weekends, La Rocca has seen himself behind the wheels of racecars all around the world. The jet-setting driver recently made his Euro F3 Open debut with Team West-Tec with impressive results. In a field of 25 drivers, La Rocca qualified his F3 ride in the 13th position, but was determined to improve in wheel-to-wheel competition. Challenging himself to move forward through the stacked grid of competitors, La Rocca impressed all by garnering an solid sixth place finish when the event concluded.
"My experience in Europe is definitely helping me in North America," added La Rocca. "Couple the skills I am learning overseas with the support of the Auto Auto-Errante - HP Tech Motorsports team in the F2000 Championship Series, we have put together a winning combination."
Enjoying very little time off, La Rocca will return to Europe for his second event weekend in the Euro F3 Open. Once again joining forces with Team West-Tec, La Rocca will compete at the famed Brands Hatch and will look to improve on his impressive start to his F3 season. Upon his return back state side, La Rocca will then compete at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio on July 26th through the 29th in rounds nine and ten of the F2000 Championship Series.
