"One of the most difficult challenges in the career of a young pilot - and what does probably require from him most work - is to obtain the financial support that will enable him to enter one of the best automotive team in the world and compete equally with any other competitor.

Thanks to BARDAHL sponsorship, I have been able to drive a Minardi in Formula 1. When I started to run Indy races in 1995, many people thought it was risky but it has allowed me to dispute again international competitions and I was lucky to be again supported by BARDAHL who had had for several generations the same racing tradition."
