Alec Udell Thoughts |
About the Challenges of Brands Hatch:
“We had a more time to get acquainted with the track at Monza. Here at Brands Hatch, the schedule is more condensed. This adds some challenges. There won’t be as much time to take it all in and get the MDM BMW up to the front of the pack. I have to be on my game and ready to go from session one on another track that is brand new to me.”

About assets entering Rounds 3 and 4: ”There was a lot to learn in my first weekend but now, going into the second event, I have more knowledge. Simon and I worked well together at Monza. I felt quickly at home with MDM and we consistently had the quickest BMW. The competition in the SRO GT4 European Series is top-notch but, because I know more of what to expect, we’re going to be back stronger than last race.”
