Olivier Tielemans had his seat fitting at MA-CON Motorsport yesterday in preparation to compete in the pr🌄estigious 2004 FIA International Fꦿ3000 championship.

Tielemans and MA-CONജ Motorsport came to an agreement and Tielemans is now to be promoted from Formula Renault 2000, where the Dutchman scored some impressive results in the strong Benelux Championship. In his first year in Formula Renault 2000 he finished fifth overall and fourth in the junior class.

"The FIA International F3000 championship is a class of strong competition and has somꦿe very good drivers," commented Tielemans, "This year will be a learning year for m🦄e and I will do the best I can to help the team and my German team-mate Tony Schmidt, so that we can score important points for the championship.

"My ambition in motorsport is to realise the highest possible. This is a huge possibility for me. I am taking over the car of Nicolas Kiesa [winner Monaco 2003] and he made it to F1 last year as team-mate of Jos Ve🅺rstappen!"

Tielemans started with karting when he was seven. After he graduated in 2001 from the International School in Cambridge, he got his 𒊎racing license at the Michelജ Bleekemolen Race School.

In 2002 he moved to Italy where he competed in the Formula Renault 1600 championship for the Tomcat Racing Team. Last year he drove for MP Motorsports in the Benelux Formula Renault 2000 championship and💜 now a dream comes true for the 19-year old.

Casper Wempe, Tielemans' manager, has made sure that the youngster has prepared himself the last couple of months physically and mentally, at the 'Esporta' Health Club in Oxford. His personal trainer, James Milligan, of Driver performance is ver𒉰y positive about Tielemans's progress and of🧸 his staying power and endurance.

Team MA-CON Motorsport was established by Marian Hamprecht at the end of 2001. From the early 90's the German had many successe✱s with Formula Opel Lotus, Formula Renault and Formula 3. This year he decided to invest all his efforts and expertise for the FIA International F3000 championship.

Hamprecht note💫d: "I am delighted that we have secured the services of Olivier with our goals clearly being to retain both Championships. Olivier is very young, intelligent and demonstrated to have sufficient speed during the Formula Renault 2000 season. I am convinced that he can adapt very soon to the FIA International F3000 cham𒁃pionship."

🌟Tielemans cannot wait to mak♓e his first kilometres.

"Yesterday I was in Dortmund𝓰 for a seat fitting at the factory," he added, "Next Monday we will run a three-day tes൩t at Jerez, Spain to get used to the 480 bhp strong Lola B02/50 F3000!"
