“On a personal level, 2023 will be a step into the unknown as I have my eyes on two championships; the IGTC Independent Cup, which got off to a great start with a class win at the Bathurst 12 Hour in the Mercedes AMG GT3 ,and I hope to continue this momentum in the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS Cup with the brand new Mclaren 720S GT3 EVO.
