FIA ETRC star Lenz “so happy” after Goodyear Wingfoot Award success
Sascha Lenz said he was “so happy” after he became the second driver to win the Goodyear Wingfoot Award in the Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship.
Lenz was included on the shortlist by the Goodyear Wingfoot Award jury after he finished third in Race 1 and second in Race 3.
In the public poll, which took place during Race 4, he came out on top with 45 per cent of the votes. René Reinert (31 per cent) finished second with Mark Taylor third on 25 per cent.
“Thank you very much for all the people voting for me, I’m really so happy,” German driver Lenz said. “It gives me so much motivation for the next event.”
Already presented in several major series, including the FIA World Endurance Championship, European Le Mans Series and the British Touring Car Championship, the Goodyear Wingfoot Award recognises driver performance and achievement in the Goodyear FIA ETRC.
At each of the seven Goodyear FIA ETRC events, a panel of experts from the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motor sport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, and Goodyear will nominate three drivers following Race 3, based on their overall performance during the race weekend, their sporting behaviour and highlights on track. Fans will then be able to vote for their driver of the weekend via Instagram from the shortlist of candidates during Race 4.
The winner is announced as part of the live broadcast coverage of Race 4 and presented with the Goodyear Wingfoot Award on the final podium. Norbert Kiss was the winner of the Goodyear Wingfoot Award at the Misano season opener.
Based on Goodyear’s iconic winged-foot logo, which is inspired by the Roman god Mercury, the Goodyear Wingfoot Award is designed to further engage fans throughout the season, while highlighting performances and moments that reflect the sporting values of the Goodyear FIA ETRC.
