Erik Holm avancerar i formel-debut efter krasch på träning

Den 20-årige örebroaren Erik Holm missade kval och första racet i sin formelbilsdebut efter att ha touchat muren under träning. I det andra racet startade han sist men körde upp sig åtta placeringar i USF2000-klassen. Holm är nöjd med racet men lärde sig en läxa av misstaget.

Efter sex säsonger i gokart gjorde Erik Holm, 20 år gammal från Örebro, helgen till ära debut i formelbilsracing. Han tävlade i USF2000-klassen, som körs i samband med Indycar-serien. Under tidsträningen touchade han muren, vilket ledde till att han missade både kvalet och det första racet. I det andra racet fick han starta från sista positionen.

Trots den tuffa starten lyckades Holm avancera åtta placeringar under racet. "Jag är jättenöjd med själva racet, missnöjd att jag gjorde den där missen på träning. Men läxan är lärd", säger han. Debuten markerar ett steg upp från gokart till professionell formelracing, och Holms prestation visar på potential trots det initiala bakslaget.

Evenemanget ägde rum som en del av Indycar-programmet, där USF2000 fungerar som en inkörsport för yngre talanger. Holms insats understryker vikten av att hantera tryck i hög hastighet.
