QUOTES Dylan O’Keeffe Driver, GRM Renault Sport Megane “It’s a great honour to be here at Vukovic Motorsport’s workshop in Switzerland and get the chance to test the new generation Megane RS,” said O’Keeffe. “With all that is going on in the world, I thought my chances of doing something like this in 2020 was going to be slim, but when I found out that it was on and I could do it, it was really exciting and I’m grateful for the opportunity. “I’ve never been to the Salzburgring circuit, so I’ve been doing some research and I can’t wait to get there and trial the new car.” Barry Rogers Garry Rogers Motorsport “Our relationship with Vukovic Motorsport has been fantastic from Day 1, and when they approached us to do this test, despite the challenges the world is facing, we jumped at it,” said Rogers. “Milenko (Vukovic) spent a fair bit of time in our engineering department last year, and we’ve collaborated on some upgrades to suspension and chassis that has been incorporated into the Megane RS. “GRM has been working hard behind the scenes on some track testing, and we’re pleased that our team has played a role in the next generation of Renault’s TCR car. “It’s a great reward for Dylan who has been working hard at GRM for almost two years. GRM sees a bright future in competing in an international category like TCR, and he has recognised the potential the whole program has. “Dylan's speed last year caught the attention of the Vukovic Motorsport, and that has gone a long way to securing this test.” Milenko Vukovic Principal, Vukovic Motorsport “I was very impressed with Dylan straight up when he had his first test of the Renault Megane TCR car at Sandown back in February,” said Vukovic. “I received very good feedback on the car from Dylan after this test which impressed me a lot. As I’m the manufacturer of the Renault Megane TCR car here in Switzerland, quality feedback is very important to me in development of the car." "With the COVID-19 situation affecting motorsport in Australia, Dylan and I kept in contact a lot throughout this period. So the timing of him coming over to validate the new components and upgrades has worked out perfectly for us, that is why I have given him this opportunity." |
