More and more drivers are coming under the spotlight in the 2024 season of the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine thanks to their feats and performances. Among them is Giovanni Maschio, a driver for the RPM team, who stood out during the Hungaroring event where his impressive comeback on the Hungarian circuit secured him the fourth Racelience Award of the year.

The Italian driver managed to climb 11 positions in the first race, and in the second, he gained another seven points after advancing from 27th to 20th place. This noteworthy performance allowed Maschio to take the lead in the Pirelli standings with 45 points, followed by Marta Garcia with 39, Ruiqi Liu with 32, Jesse Carrasquedo with 31, and Nicola Lacorte with 28.

The Racelience Award, created by Pirelli, recognizes drivers who exhibit exceptional resilience and improvement during races. Points are awarded based on the difference between a driver’s starting grid position and their finishing position, rewarding those who advance the most. At the end of the season, the driver with the highest score will receive the prestigious Pirelli Wheel.
