Previously, Felbermayr's best placement was a fifth place in the race in Shanghai.
in Montreal, a total of three races take place due to a unusual race in Miami. While Felbermayr was able to drive in a podium in the first session, it was later revoked. The reason for the dismissal was that your car (start number 5) is the required minimum weight of 603 kg by more than 0.4 kg.
