A total of 181 drivers have joined the races in the five regional championships to qualify for the Nationals. Tyre treatment has of course been an issue before the event. But Fredy…

You were trackside when we contacted you, are you evaluating some potential new drives or has the decision on your new team already been made? A. The decision is already made. I was under discussion with many brands for a long time, and only…
