Ad/> On racing through the streets of Pau…“I drove there in one of the first races of my career in 2013.

It was in a small electric car but it was more like an exhibition race than a proper race. But I don’t really remember the track so I need to work a little bit more on the simulator and on the videos to be ready, but it will be okay.” WTCRCountdown to WTCR’s High Five with Mehdi BennaniYESTERDAY AT 16:08 On racing on the streets again…“It’s been three years since we drove on any street track and it’s always a little bit different than a normal circuit.

For sure the commitment is really important. In Qualifying when you put on new tyres and you have to go for a lap it’s always a bit more risky and every mistake can cost you a lot because if you crash in Q1 then you are out for the rest of the session and for the races it’s a problem, so it’s always a bit more of a gamble for us drivers.
