Thierry:
"Magny-Cours is a race track I haven't driven before. It will be a bit tricky to get used to the track, but from the sim work I have done there, and the onboards I have seen so far, it looks like a fun track. It is very fast and very technical and one thing we can see if we watch different series drive there, is track limits will be very hard as you always want to push as much as you can, but on tracks like this that are designed for moto gp with very flat curbs with lots of runoff, it will be difficult to stay within the track limits. That is something to focus on, and luckily we will be testing before the race so I hope we can have a good performance here. "
