There will be an adjustment phase with a lot of work, but I will still be able to count on the support of Bos Engineering which has an extensive experience with this car. Moreover, the company STACEM continues its collaboration with our team, without them this adventure since 2008 would not be here today.” It promises great things, provided it was not easy to reach this stage.

However, I was well aware that the program was set duration. Now I have my own car in the French Championship, it is a real dream come true for me. It is never easy to gather necessary funds, I fought hard for over a year, but we are not there yet.
