Now, the driver awaits the international Porsche Carrera Cup race. The next stage of the category will be at the famous Circuit de la Sarthe, as a support event for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
What he said:
“Starting from the back, we always want more. I had a strong fight with Jeff (Giassi), but every time I got close, my car would overheat the tires and I couldn’t attack him. I kept my head in the game, thought about the championship, and now it’s time to focus on the next stages to try and stay in the lead.”
