"My main target is to finish the race; it is the one thing that has been dodging me in the past and yet in my favourite race. At the same time, I want to be the best among the local drivers. My brief international experience might play against me but nevertheless, I remain optimistic. I hope to be within the pace of the quicker European and Japanese drivers although I expect it will be extremely difficult, as surely, they have more experience having competed in top championships around the world
