Developing the car and working in collaboration with Pirelli on the definition of the tires gives a global vision of the future of the series. I am convinced that GP3 is the best stage to prepare for the next stage, GP2. »

As for the technical director, Didier Perrin, he is confident for the future. “ We are on schedule, not only in terms of our development program but also in terms of the production process. I am quite satisfied with the level of competitiveness of our car and its general behavior. Its ease of driving is very similar to a GP2 car, which was one of our main objectives. »
