Quote: “I will get in the driver’s seat when the opportunity pres- ents itself. I can’t be in the car every race weekend, so to have ex- perienced drivers like PJ (Groenke) and Sylvain (Laporte) on the team makes us very happy. With Michel (Sallenbach) being a rookie in the series, we will ensure we guide his progression.”
