Northern European Cup season finale for Will at Hockenheim

The curtain comes down on the 2016 Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup (NEC) this weekend (1/2 October) at the Hockenheimring, Germany, with Will Palmer aiming to finish his campaign on a high and return to the top-10 in the overall standings.

The Southwater racer has taken three podium finishes in the NEC this year and has ran consistently inside the top-10, but was forced to miss the penultimate meeting of the season at the Nurburgring due to illness, and now occupies 12^th spot in the championship order. With just 11 points separating the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award winner from 10^th position however, and a further six from the top-eight, Will can be confident of closing the gap especially with three races taking place this weekend, instead of the traditional two, and a maximum of 90 points up for grabs.

Will was most recently in racing action last weekend for the penultimate round of the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 season at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. The 2015 BRDC Formula 4 Champion had strong pace throughout the weekend but suffered an unfortunate retirement in race one due to accident damage before mounting a brilliant recovery drive in race two to take ninth after a spin.

The 2.84 mile Hockenheimring circuit will host a triple-header of NEC races this weekend with a 45-minute qualifying session taking place on Saturday morning at 10:00 (09:00 BST). Race one will follow at 17:10 (16:10 BST) before Sunday's action begins with race two at 11:20 (10:20). The final NEC race of the weekend, and season, will take place at 17:35 (16:35 BST).
