Usually, with motorsport, it’s a different world. For many years, I was in karting and that was a foundation into rallying. When I take part in motorsport, it takes me to a different zone. You forget everything that’s happening in your life. It’s a completely different feeling. For me, I need that space. It’s hard to express it unless you’ve done it.
So, you’ve been karting from a young age. Why did you choose rally and not a circuit-based sport?
Rallying wasn’t in my mind at the beginning. I intended to go into formula racing or GT cars. I raced once in the UK in Formula Three. It’s really expensive to continue and compete with a low budget. For us, when I was in Oman, a famous rally driver from the Middle East said "why don’t you try rallying?". And when I tried it, I really loved it. I didn’t expect to. We’re evolving and, although our budget is low, we’re trying to make the best of what we can do with a great team. And we’re getting better.
