AVF by Adrián Vallés will complete its driver line-up in the World Series Formula V8 3.5 with the young Russian driver backed by SMP Racing, Egor Orudzhev. The 21 year-old driver from Saint Petersburg was one of the best rookies in the discipline and last year, he finished third in the Series, with 4 significant victories.

With both SMP Racing drivers, Isaakyan and Orudzhev, I’m confident that we have one of the strongest line-up and after our win last year and we want to revalidate the Title. We’re ready for more!”Egor Orudzhev, driver in AVF
