This year the race was decided in the last legs, where we managed to overtake the crew that was leading the ranking with three points more than hours. Many compliments then to our opponents because they put up a good fight, making this year’s race incredibly tight and exciting. A special thanks to co-driver, Fabio, because you win as a duo.
