4 HOURS OF IMOLA - FORMULINO PUTS A PAW IN IT

Welcome to Imola, Formulino’s kingdom! As a cat lady, how couldn’t I love Imola and its sweet kitty? Lou is a cat lover too, and surely Formulino brought him good luck. His teammates Lorenzo and Ferdinand and him had such a perfect race, as they stayed P4 for a long time and finally gained the tallest step of the podium in both general classification and LMP2. Congratulations boys for your 2nd victory in a row!
Next ELMS race? Monza, on July 3rd! It’s close to where I live, and I couldn’t be happy to be back to the track, or better, to my second home, after two years of pandemic. The only problem? It’s period of uni exams. I will see how I will manage the situation.

SPA 6 HOURS - WHAT A MESS!

Rain, red flags, battles, crashes: this was the 2022 Spa 6 Hours. Toyota lived a double-faced weekend: I’m happy that Kamui Kobayashi won the race, but on the other hand I’m a bit sad for Séb Buemi who had engine issues. And Lou? His teammate Lorenzo Colombo was 4th in the general classification, but unfortunately our Swiss chocolate broke the front end and Prema ended up 10th in the general classification as well as 7th in LMP2 class.
Cheer up Lou, Rob and Lorenzo, your next race will be better!

IMSA, LAGUNA SECA - HEATING UP THE CALIFORNIAN HEAT

Laguna Seca is for sure one of the hottest places I’ve ever visited around the world; I was there back in August 2015 and I was feeling like I was burning. And if that wasn’t hot enough, Lou gave his contribution to further heat it up.
But let’s start from the beginning. For this IMSA race, his teammate in Tower Motorsport was John Farano. They had a very good race, even considering that they had never raced together before, and ended with a fantastic victory in LMP2 class! Congratulations guys!
Lou also had the opportunity to visit San Francisco and loved it so much, just like I did during my 2015 USA trip.
