Kevin Ceccon
“I’m really happy to come back racing this week-end. Hungaroring is a real special track and like Zolder, we have good chance to show all our potential. Overtaking is difficult, so most of the job should be done in qualifying. After last race in Belgium, I’m really confident in the car’s potential and I spend some time to the ISR Racing simulator to know better this track with a GT car. The team shown how competitive we are with car already in Spa, for the prestigious 24 Hours I’ve attended with them”.
