Former Formula 3000 series, champion, Formula 1 and ChampCar series' competitor Roberto Moreno is making his debut in the Eurocup Megane Trophy as the World Series by Renault holds its first meeting in Russia at the new Moscow Raceway.
Bas Schothorst (TDS Racing) is continuing to dominate in the Eurocup Megane Trophy. The Dutchman has won all but one of this season's six races so far, the only blot on his copybook coming in race one at the Nürburgring, when Albert Costa (Oregon Team) took the honours. The championship now moves on to Moscow Raceway, a track new to all the drivers and where the 2011 Eurocup Megane Trophy champion Stefano Comini (Team Lompech Sport) and ex-Formula One and Champ Car driver Robert Moreno (Oregon Team) will both be making their entrances this season.
Appearing in the Oregon Team Megane, Moreno owes his place in the field to Nicolas Milan's withdrawal for personal reasons.
Aside from a new track, the Brazilian will also have a new car to get to grips with. The winner of 1982 Formula Three Macau Grand Prix and the 1988 Formula 3000 champion, Moreno is a veteran of 42 Formula 1 Grands Prix and also made his name in the USA's Champ Car World Series, finishing third overall in 2000.
Accustomed to Super Touring and Grand Touring cars in the last few years, the Brazilian should have little trouble finding his way round the high-performance saloon car developed by Renault Sport Technologies.
