MOTORSPORTS QUESTIONS

 

  • Whether in ELMS or not, how was your 2014 season?

My 2014 season in the TUDOR United Sports Cars Series was a challenging one, but we had some strong showings like a 2nd place at Road America, fastest race lap at Long Beach to balance it out. I always try to take the positive in all situations and the one for me was that we were always running competitively up front.

  • What did you do during the winter?

As I live in Florida, we don't have much of a winter per say, so I worked out a lot getting ready to the 2015 season as well as lots of Karting days.

  • How was your season start and what do you expect from the 2015 ELMS season?

I expect to do well. I just joined Krohn Racing and want to do the best I can to help the team. I believe we have the right package and great personnel to work with.

  • Do you know all the circuits on the 2015 schedule? Which one is your favourite?

Silverstone is the only track I have been to and it has changed since. Right now I am really looking forward to drive in all of them.

  • How do you prepare for a race weekend?

I study lots of data, on board videos and SIM work. I also train very hard to be able to perform as best as I can.

  • Do you have a special ritual before the race? If yes, what is it ?

Just lots of good sleep, the fresher the better.

  • What are the strengths of your team?

I really think we have great professionals working at Krohn Racing as well as Nic and Tracy and we all have one thing in mind, that is to do well.

  • What are the strengths of your co driver(s)?

I have known Nic for a long time, since my British F-3 days, he was quick then and he is quick now. Also the fact that he has been with Krohn Racing forever will help me and Tracy get up to speed fast.

  • What is the race you want to take part in the most? And why?

24 Hour of Le Mans, for sure. It’s been on my mind for years and I hope to be able to tick that off my bucket list.
