The young driver, champion and Vice-Champion of National Speed Championship, guaranteed start slowly, step by step, to discover critical points of route. I know that, eventually, if the event is running, we'll be well classified, however, until then, it is a process of waiting and patience ", he explained, because this type of event has nothing to do with those that are used in the National Speed Championship.
