Such an emotional win!
After very late delivery of the containers with all the equipment and the cars during the night before the race, we worked hard without sleeping during 72 hours to be prepared at the same level as all the other 24H Series challenges.
With only 3 hours of running for the free practice and qualifying session before the race on the hard Sebring International Raceway, Stéphane Perrin Officiel, Mathieu Detry, Rik Breukers and Matthew Taskinen shew their high driver skill making a perfect job at the wheel of the well set Audi Sport RS3 LMS TCR to score a maiden win in this last race of 2021; we've been through start under rain conditions, a crazy long night, a driver who suffered after two stints and a red flag 4 hours before the end of the race due to heavy rain. All the elements went together to finish this first ever 24 hours race on this racetrack 8th overall, winning the TCE and TCR category.
We finished runnner-up in Team, Drivers and Rookie championships with a 5 points gap, but this victory is a mega result and reflects all the progression and the good work made by the team since I began to work with them beginning of 2020, so happy and so proud, even more for a first in the USA for me!
End 2021 on good vibes to begin 2022 at Dubai 24H with others!
