"I feel absolutely great before this upcoming season, I know there are many new challenges awaiting for us and it motivates me. I am entering this season with respect, but full of energy. I just returned from my week long fitness boot camp in hotel Karpatia in Humenné. In the coming days, we are planning a more complex pre-season preparation together with Lukáš in the Czech Republic followed by our first pre-season test. I would like to thank all the partners entering this season with us, especially our home team Styllex Motorsport and L Racing " said Martin Koči enthusiastically.
