Brawn GP and Loïc Bigois honored

Loïc Bigois, awarded the Dino Toso Racecar Aerodynamicist of the Year Award, wanted to be modest. Although he has held this responsibility since July 2007 within the team of Brackley, the Frenchman wanted to share this reward with his entire team. “ I am very proud to accept this Trophy on behalf of the Brawn GP Aerodynamics department », declares the native of Aix-en-Provence.

« But I would like to make a wish: the organizers must rename this PrizeHe says. This should be an award for Aerodynamics Department of the Year, not Aerodynamicist of the Year. Results come from the work of a team, a department, not a single person. »

La car of the Brackley team was the most effective in this 2009 season, winning eight Grand Prix victories, including six of the first seven races of the year. Born from long reflection and long-term work, the Brawn GP stood out thanks to its curves, its ability to not overheat the tires and its double rear diffuser which has caused a lot of ink to flow. .
