I was fancying it and I thank Hans Hartmann for giving me this opportunity. I said myself: these can be a good car and a good team for claiming a good result. And the result came. It was not easy though, as Oriola made my life very hard, especially in the first race.

Despite the young Spaniard’s triumph, the second place was enough for Giovanardi to claim the European Touring Car Cup in the S2000 class, with a margin of only one point ahead of Oriola.
