PERONI SWITCHES TO MP IN RENAULT

Formula Renault Eurocup race winner Alex Peroni, who as far as we know isn’t descended from any famous racing drivers (unlike the three stories above), will stay in the series this year. The Australian, who won at Pau last year with Fortec, switches to MP Motorsport. Other latest Eurocup signings include Russian Formula 4 star Alexander Smolyar at Tech 1 Racing, and his compatriots Alexander Vartanyan and Vladimir Tziortzis at Arden and Fortec respectively. Spaniard Xavier Lloveras kicks off his first full season in the series with AVF.
