Alec Udell Thoughts |
About the Challenges of Paul Ricard: “Paul Ricard looks to be an exciting race for us in the MDM M4. This track is fast. It is another F1 circuit used as a test track and proving grounds so a lot of my competition is going to know this track really well. It will be another new challenge for me so I’m looking forward to some extra practice time to get acquainted with my third new track in three races!”
