“In a such difficult moment, it’s nice find a way to do something different. For sure all the 2020 programs are much more complicated now, but I don’t give-up. The Esports series is a chance to spend some time with the friends from the track and the virtual ones. Especially for the fans because who doesn’t want to race, can still watch a funny motorsport show in streaming, a good way to entertain, meanwhile we all respect the instructions given by the authorities to keep under control the COVID19 crisis”.
