Dubai

I’m going to race with Lloyd la Marca, one of my main sponsors. He recently won the Ferrari Challenge. I have never raced in the FIA GT3 European Championship, and I have never tested any GT3 cars, so it is going to be something new for me. But as far as I know, the level is great, the cars are all very similar, and the fights are fantastic, so I am really looking forward to be in Dubai. I love this track. We won there in 2006 with Andrea Piccini, it was a great race. This track is a real track, as fantastic as Spa or Suzuka. It is over five kilometres long, with very fast corners for really big-hearted drivers, as well as more technical parts. And with the sand on the track, it is always very slippery. It is great to drive there, I love it ! And also, we will be in a fantastic country, close to an incredible town with good weather at the end of November… it could not be better !”
