A podium at the 24 Hours of Spa

The 2026 24 Hours of Spa will always be a special chapter in my racing career. In only my fourth GT3 race, I achieved my first GT3 podium, finishing third in the Gold Cup with Optimum Motorsport.

It was far from a straightforward race. We started 24th overall and, after setbacks, dropped as far as 60th. Endurance racing demands patience, resilience and trust in the people around you. We kept pushing, lap after lap.

Crossing the line 24th overall and third in the Gold Cup made the recovery even more rewarding. To stand on the podium at one of the world’s most prestigious GT3 endurance races was a moment I will never forget.
