However, he is confident that 2007 is his year to shine. "My aspiration for 2007 is to become Supercup Champion for TEAM IRWIN SAS!"It's very important to me that the team's sponsors believe I have what it takes to go all the way and I am confident that we will see huge successes this year," said Saelens, who battled with Richard Westbrook for the 2006 Supercup title. "TEAM IRWIN SAS is definitely a winning formula."Saelens began his racing career at the age of six in karting tracks and, after a single-seater career, started racing in the Porsche Supercup in 2004. Over the last two years he has been a regular race winner and podium finisher.The sponsorship is the largest  pan-European motorsport investment for IRWIN to date, complimenting large success in US and Australia.
