Long before he retired from professional cycling, Tom Boonen already had a passion for four wheels. Since his last appearance on Paris-Roubaix in 2017, an event on which he forged his legend with four successes (2005, 2008, 2009 and 2012, co-record holder with Roger de Vlaeminck), the Belgian has dedicated himself to his second career: that of a racing driver. The former sprinter is aware of the steps he must take, despite several experiences in more or less long distance events.
