Csaba Bak贸 Race Engineer
Designing the 2015 race car was a huge task. From the year 2012 we knew we are on a good way to be the European Champions. After a very difficult season we found out which parts of the race truck needed to be improved. For 2013 we became very fast yet the truck was not the most reliable on the grid. For 2014 we found a way to have the same performance with the reliability improved a lot. This was the key to be able to win the championship.
