Fu Songyang, Team Owner Orange1 FFF Racing Team
“We brought back from the first race of the season the bitter taste of a win that vanished, but also the sweet of the excellent performance shown in qualifying and the first part of the race, which proves our competitiveness, and the great result of our second car. We go to Paul Ricard with the objective to reconfirm all that and catch up on the points lost in the standings, knowing that we have a team and the drivers able to achieve that. In France, there will be the additional variable of darkness, as the race takes partly place at night time, but this will be an excellent rehearsal ahead of the Spa 24 Hours.”
