4 HOURS OF PAUL RICARD - MIRACLES HAPPEN!

Good evening!
After the Monza WEC round of last weekend, Lou is back to his racing duties in ELMS. This time he raced in Paul Ricard, where he made such a miracle: he had a unfortunate front left tire puncture with 12 laps to go, but, according to what he wrote on his Insta, “drove his heart out” to make it to the first step of the podium, at least for his class. In fact, he actually ended the overall race P3.
Also big congratulations to Algarve Pro Racing for their first overall win!
See you for the next adventure 👋🏻😘

MONZA 6 HOURS - A WEEKEND ON THE FIELD

Good evening!
If you follow me on Instagram, you know for sure that on Saturday I attended the qualifications of FIA WEC in Monza. Due to a mistake I bought tickets for the qualifications and not for the race, but this doesn’t mean I made the wrong thing: Ferrari won Le Mans, and this means that paddock tickets for Sunday were sold out.
I caught up with friends of mine I use to meet in Monza, and we had good fun together, apart from the pit walk which unfortunately this year, and I’m sorry to say that, was very badly organized. I met some drivers I had never met before, such as Daniil Kvyat and Andre Lotterer. Lou was the first driver I met in the morning, and we had a 360º chat: I asked him something about his racing duties and he asked me how is my life going. You’re always so nice and kind, Lou! Never change, please, you’re perfect as you are!
And the qualification session of his team was perfect too: RobKub gained LMP2 pole position (the first one for a Polish driver in WEC!) with a breathtaking lap.
The 6 Hours of Monza saw another Toyota win in Hypercar, so I send my congratulations to Kamui, Mike and José Maria; JOTA won LMP2 and Dempsey-Proton conquered GTE AM. 
And what about the WRT car with the number 41? During the race they oscillated between P6 and P8 in their class, and they ended up P13 for the general classification and P3 for LMP2.
I sadly have to tell you this will be the last Italian WEC race in Monza, as from next year the 6 Hours will be held in Imola. However, I’m happy because the next one will be in Fuji! I wish I could attend it too, but it will be difficult.

Here you are my selfie with Lou and the photo of his car.
