Hello, good evening. We just arrived here in the Baja Greece. We really like this Baja because last year it was our first experience with Baja, with South Racing in the T4 category. This year we came back in the Challenger class, so we will participate in the full championship again and we hope to defend our title, not in the T4 but now in the T3. So, we really enjoyed it and we’re looking forward to the race.
Meanwhile, you made a very nice magazine with some pages from Nick Weyens as well, because we trained him. He has experience as a cameraman in the Dakar Rally for, I don’t know, 15 years, I think. And we trained him on his way to Dakar. So it was really nice to train him and we trained some more people, but it will be written in the next magazine. So thank you very much.

Hello, we are at Baja Greece. We just finished scrutineering and we are very excited to start tomorrow We hope the weather is gonna help us. We will start on board of our Mini diesel and my last race was 2014 and World Championship and now I decided to start again in the European Championship. I used to drive the World Championship 2010, 2011, 2012. Unfortunately, in 2012 I had an accident with the Mitsubishi.
I used to have the Mitsubishi Lancer and the previous one, the MPR13. I had quite good results in the top 10 always and now let’s see if the pain is not gonna come back from the accident and hopefully we’ll try to to gain confidence and get the top 10 position. Also I’m driving the national Romanian hill climb championship with Skoda, Fabia, where last year I was in the second position as a national champion and hopefully this year is gonna end up finally for me to get the national championship.

We are in Greece, for the Baja Greece, the third round of the championship. Now it’s supposed to rain, maybe. It was not expected, but the weather changes every time. But anyway, we will make the shakedown tomorrow morning, because today is forbidden. But we are, now we are leading the championship, so we are going to try to make a good result here, just to know, just to have a really best position in the championship, to see what happens in the future, because you never know, you never know what will happen with the last two races in Dubai and Qatar. But happy to be here, the car is ready, everything is ready, we are ready, so we will see what happens this weekend.
