The particularity of the NWES? It’s a beautiful series! The races are never boring, whether for us pilots, or for the spectators, to hear this sweet sound of the V8, with this old school atmosphere it’s a real pleasure!

What was your most defining moment in the NWES?

It is difficult to choose which moment was the most influential for me in the NWES … In 2017, I could not do the season (lack of budget), I could only do Zolder. I drove for the first time at Racing Total and won the final at home! This race will stay long in my memory, but the season of 2018 too. As I was able to show my speed and my help with the development of a new team in NWES, Memphis Racing and I, we worked on all the races to be always better. And if we have to take stock, we have exceeded our expectations and prove to other teams our speed.
