Short & challenging

Speaking at the end of the race, he said: “A big thank you to GT Radial for their trust and support this year in what has been an enjoyable but challenging, shortened French Championship.

“With the season taking place over just six weeks it did not allow us to carry out updates and development of this new car, nevertheless we are very satisfied to finish in tenth place when we see the number of participants performing at an exceptionally high level this season. Our greatest satisfaction is to have been able to measure the potential of our new car, but also and above all to have been able to identify the few points to be improved which will produce a formidable weapon next season.

“GT Radial tyres will continue to help me perform at a higher level and get the best from the car.”
