BACK TO SILVE(R)STONE (EVEN VIRTUALLY!)

Lou attended another virtual event, this time the “circuit” was Silverstone, the circuit I lovingly nickname “SilveStone”. He ended 4th in Race 2. He fought for the podium until the end, but he had to surrender to Sacha Fenestraz, whose surname has a creepy assonance with Lou’s one… Sir Lando won Race 1 and Martin Kodrić won Race 2.

Thanks to my friend Valeria for giving me the results of the race!

LOUIS… HAAS BEEN CHOSEN!

I know, it’s a bit of a crappy pun… but in this difficult period, I’m happy to see that Lou, our hero Lou, officially became test and reserve driver for Haas! He will be paired by Pietro Fittipaldi, his former teammate in the team Fortec in Formula V8 back in 2016 as well as a close friend of him! Bonne chance and boa sorte!

NOT SO GOOD, AT LEAST HE HAD FUN

Good evening! Today Lou attended “Not the Bahrain Grand Prix”, with other famous drivers such as Lando Norris, Stoffel Vandoorne, Nico Hülkenberg and Esteban Gutiérrez. The virtual race was streamed on Twitch.

Lou ended 15th, he was not so lucky. But the most important thing is having fun, and he’s a bit of a nerd guy, he’s into videogames and he loves virtual racing. Next time it will be better, never give up!

A TRUE KNIGHT NEVER GIVES UP

Despite the uncertain situation caused by the CoVid-19 world pandemy, which is 

affecting the sports’ world too, Louis announced that he *maybe* will contest the GT World Challenge round at Paul Ricard at the wheel of a Porsche GT3-R prepared by GPX Racing.

He’s excited about it! I will keep you updated about the development of the situation.

LET’S RACE AGAINST… COVID-19!

The races are suspended due to the CoVid-19 world pandemy…? Don’t worry, we can race online!

VeloceSports organized an online race named “Not the Australian GP” in which our Lou took part too! He ended the “race” in 18th position, and he had a lot of fun. I know that racing virtually is not exactly like racing in real life, but it’s very amusing too (by the way, I’m a big Need For Speed geek)

Lou as a driver is obviously disappointed by the cancellation of races, but as a very clever person knows that it’s the best choice not to make the virus spread more. And I agree so much with him.

2020 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 3: AN ITALIAN TOPS THE WORLD!

Good evening, folks! Let’s sing the Italian national anthem with me! Yes, the Italian Goodfella Luca Ghiotto topped the final day of testing and I couldn’t be happier!

And Lou? What about Lou? In the morning he was a discrete midfielder, scoring the 11th time of 1:46.997 and putting 39 laps under his belt; in the afternoon he stepped up a bit, ending 8th with a time of 1:41.864 and completing 18 laps!

Drivers will be back on this track in the end of March, but this time the competition will be real! Are you excited for this new season?

2020 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 2: WE FINALLY FOUND OURSELVES

Vicky is back to tell you about the second day of testing among the Middle Eastern dunes. 

In the morning our hero scored the 11th time, 1:46.977, and put 39 laps under his belt; in the afternoon he completed 20 laps and ended 18th with a time of 1:42.559. As a big fan of Indian drivers, I’m happy that Jehan Daruvala was the fastest driver of the day! Will he make inroads in our hearts of fans? 

See you tomorrow for the final day!

2020 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 1: CHAROUZ STARTS WITH A “BANG”!

Good Sunday evening! The engines are finally roaring on the track!

Our dear Lou was the quickest in the first half of the day, he completed 23 laps with a time of 1:43.583. In the afternoon he completed 31 laps with the 8th time, 1:42.498.

The quickest driver of the day was Pedro Piquet, one of the youngest sons of Nelson and Nelsinho’s half-brother.

See you tomorrow evening for the 2nd day of action!
