About Nürburgring: “This week we’re going into the last rounds of my first season in SRO GT4 European Series. It’s an exciting time as we’re right there in the championship chase with two races to go. MDM has done a tremendous job putting us right where we want to be with our BMW M4 GT4. I’m looking forward to racing on one of the most famous tracks in the world, in front of a crowd of big time racing fans! That is the way to race for a championship!”
