The words of the Team manager
“I am truly honored by the success achieved in the EWC championship with Bridgestone tyres. It’s a long-awaited goal, and I’m very happy for our drivers, who have led every single race this year.
At Le Mans we had a problem that caused us to fall on the oil, while Spa was the perfect race for us, albeit with a few hiccups.
In Suzuka we showed excellent performances, but a small technical problem made us miss out on a dream podium.
The Bol d’Or, on the other hand, was challenging and we had to be very cautious to ensure we finished the race. I’m very proud of the athletes during the race in Japan, because we were close to abandoning, but the guys didn’t give up and fought from last position to twenty-second. They are the true heroes and endurance athletes: they always demonstrate incredible fighting spirit, courage and determination, and they truly deserve it. This championship means a lot to all of us and the whole team has worked hard,” he said Mandy Kainz, Team Manager del Team YART Yamaha Official EWC.
