Choosing the best path for your career is a difficult decision as there are many factors that should be taken into consideration when choosing a series to participate in. The past months have been difficult having to research to find out the best way forward for me and taking into account that we don’t have unlimited budget.
We decided to do a test in a Super Trofeo evo 2 with Leipert Motorsport as we believe that it is potentially the best way forward for my career. The Super Trofeo Europe championship is very competitive and has great exposure racing alongside all of the big GT3 teams.
The test was in the South of France at circuit Paul Ricard which is where the first round of the championship will take place. The weather was perfect for me to get the most track time possible and learn the most that I could. The first session went well setting a decent lap and learning a lot from the car. Throughout the day I got more familiar with the car and by the end of the day we were on pace with the vice champion of the Super Trofeo championship from last year.
The team were exceptional giving me a very quick car that allowed me to learn a lot and the engineers were very helpful in getting me up to speed and extracting the most out of me on the day. The announcement for what I will be racing this year will be soon and I am excited to start this chapter in my career. I will also be racing SATC on the 8th of March in preparation for this year.
