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.
Orudzhev completes a full SMP Racing backed line-up for AVF Team alongside the Moscow racer Matevos Isaakyan (19). AVF achieved the driver’s Title in 2016 with the Frenchman Tom Dillman. The Spanish team hopes to hold the momentum in the discipline with these two Russian actives, becoming one of the youngest pairing in the World Series Formula V8 3.5.

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
