Eurocup Mégane Trophy
Without a competitive drive last season, the 2008 Italian Formula Three and 2011 FIA Formula Two champion Mirko Bortolotti is set to make his return to the track in the Eurocup Megane Trophy. Judging by his fastest times in collective testing at Motorland Aragon, the Italian is determined to make his mark.
You must be happy to be back racing again.Yes, it’s great to be back. I’d like to thank Oregon Team for giving me this opportunity. I had several good years in single-seater racing and now I’m ready to face this new challenge in the Eurocup Megane Trophy.
What made you choose the Eurocup Megane Trophy?It’s a serious championship and part of the World Series by Renault, which is a very exciting environment. It’s a lovely car to drive and it handles more like a prototype than a touring car. It’s a single-make championship and everyone has the same chance of success at the start of the season. Obviously I’m delighted to be working with an experienced outfit like Oregon and I think we’ve got a competitive team.
You were very impressive in testing. What are your objectives this season? Collective testing went very well for me, both in terms of performance and the work we did on setting up the car and adapting it to my driving style. The team put in some good work and everything is ready for the start of the season. Personally, I always drive to win and I try to do the best I can. We’ll just have to see where we are at the end of the season.
