“Since the first time we announced, first as an intention and then as confirmation, but this expectation has been inside my chest and my heart for many years. It’s getting close, it gives a shiver, I won’t say no, but everything is being very carefully handled, it’s a very big challenge, we are going to participate in a huge event, we are going to participate as a support event of the greatest importance,” he continued.
“That is, we will be the last race before the start of the 24 Hours and that, for us, is a great pride to know that. The team is working hard, not only the car team, the event team, but also the logistics team, then taking it to Portugal, anyway. It’s been work that I’m proud to see the team doing,” he concluded.
