Soulet: “Nice to put on my Bentley suit again”

And it is precisely on the only Continental GT3, entered by CMR in Pro-Am, that we will find Maxime Soulet. " I haven't driven this type of car since the 9 Hours of Kyalami in December 2020, remembers Maxime Soulet. Depuis, je n’ai plus eu le plaisir d’être impliqué dans un programme officiel malgré les dizaines de messages envoyés un peu partout. Cette saison, je participe à la Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux, où j’occupe le 5e rank for now. It is not excluded that this commitment will remain there, as we clarified with the managers of my team (August Racing. Editor’s note) before starting the season. I'm excited to put on a Bentley suit this weekend. »

Exactly… What will be the objective of Soulet in the Ardennes? “ I really want to remember the good memories of the team managers, smiles our interlocutor. But setting a blazing time in qualifying and completing good relays will not be enough. I also want to commit to the objectives of the CMR team who are kind enough to welcome me. I hope to make my contribution by signing a valid result in Pro-Am. »
