This also applies to Luca Filippi, who was hit by an opposing car in the DHL Super Final of the “Furious” pool in Budapest, but up to that moment experiencing constant progression.
“I’m very ready to go to Jarama! – says the Piedmontese – I’ve never been there, so I’m very curious to see how it is. It looks like a technical track and it will be a very hot weekend. Potentially, we can repeat the good positive results of the ‘Hungary and we will start from there “.
