Life of a Professional Racer

Interview with Jeroen Bleekemolen – Porsche Supercup Champion

Question: Jeroen within the last few years, you have managed to win the Porsche Super Cup as well as the 24 hr Le Mans in 2008. At this stage of your career, what do you do to continue improving and motivating yourself?

I just love racing cars, so it’s not hard to get motivation. Every time I step into a car I love it. Hopefully I will be in a position to win the big races like Le Mans overall and work with big manufacturers. That is my aim at the moment. Also I could imagine having a career in the US, after joining the American Le Man Series for this year.

Question: We know that as proficient you are in a Touring car, you’re just as proficient in a Formula car as you’ve also driven for A1 Team Netherlands before. But in your opinion, how does a driver know what route is better for them? GT Cars or Formula Single Seaters?

That’s hard to say. Most of the time you need to bring money to the team in Formula racing. So if you don’t have big sponsors it’s better to focus on GT racing, because there, it is easier to make money. That’s what I did. But when you have a lot of funds behind you and you believe you can make it then maybe it is worth to get your hands into Formula cars. I think a good driver can be quick in both, so that doesn’t matter. If you’re experienced and quick in both types of cars, then the versatility of your skill can get you paid.

Formula BMW Assessment Sponsorship Review

Driver: EFTYHIOS ELLINAS

Eftyhios is an extremely talented young driver that has plenty of experience in local and international karting events. Eftyhios is a world Champion in the Vortex ROK Cup and also a Cyprus Rotax National Champion. However the problem is that funding is coming as an issue for Eftyhios as he is moving up the ladder to higher forms of motorsport. Although he is talented, the cost of driving in Formula BMW is simply something that is not easy for him to be able to fork out by himself. In Europe, the cost for 1 season in Formula BMW may cost as much as Euro 450,000 inclusive of training and testing sessions for the driver.

So he approached Global Racing Schools for help on this issue and we were more than happy to put him inside our Driver assessment program that is aimed at finding the best driver to sponsor right up to Formula 1 level. So on 23rd Oct 2009, he arrived in Leicester, UK for his driver test with our top world renowned coaches from the industry.

There were a total of 8 drivers for the day. The number of drivers were kept as low as possible so as to ensure that only the highest level of attention was given to individual drivers. Eftyhios  arrived on track at 8.45 and was invited to the VIP Hospitality tent to have breakfast and some refreshments while the briefing commerced.

Eftyhios was then introduced to the all the coaches and chief instructor, Rob Wilson.  Rob Wilson needs no introduction to motor sport enthusiasts around the globe. A fast and successful competitor in all types of racing cars for the past 33 years, Rob is a highly respected driving guru of a number of today’s leading F1, GP2, Aussie V8, Rally, Porsche Supercup, F3, Palmer Audi and Formula Renault stars, including David Coulthard, Kimi Raikkonen and Valentino Rossi. He is also the chief evaluator for F1 drivers for Honda Racing and Red Bull Racing.

This was followed by a short Q & A session.

Then the program involved driving a Renault Clio Sport with Rob Wilson and one of his coaches.
Eftyhios spent the world day being coached and he said this about the training:

“ The Coaching from my instructor Rob Wilson was extremely and utterly good! I have really taken so many things about what he said about my driving that I never did know. I learnt techniques of steering, braking and also to get a good feel for the car so that I can drive it to its limit. He was a great instructor as from his work with other big names in motor racing and he was very professional in the way he coached me.”

Eftyhios was then paired up with another driver to continue his coaching session with a series of coaches for the day to train him to set the best lap. Driving continued for the rest of the  from 11:00AM to 5:00PM with a break for lunch from 1:00PM to 2:00PM.

The results of whether Eftyhios made it to Round 2 will be known in November but from prejudgment insides from the instructors:
“He definitely has the talent to be a professional driver with the right coaching”

We wish Eftyhios all the best in his bid to get through to Round 2. With our driver assessment program, he will stand a chance to get a fully paid season in Formula BMW, be paid a salary and have his expenses paid for him while he just concentrates on racing. We’ll be keeping you updated.

Life of a professional Racer Episode 5

This article is about learning to market yourself as a driver so as to project your talents and skills for potential sponsors. Many drivers are lacking in funds for their racing careers and many of them do not know how to properly go about trying to find sponsors. In the end, most will end up either frustrated and disheartened or broke from racing. While learning to find the potential sponsors for his career, Sean Edwards has learnt the perfect formula to creating interest in his racing and earning the financial rewards to take him further in his career. Sean Edwards shares with us what are some ways to improve your chances of getting sponsored.

Here are the steps that a driver should take if they want to promote themselves as professional drivers for sponsors:

1) Build a website

This is arguably the most important marketing aspect of being a driver. You have to treat your skills and career like a marketable product or company. Imagine a company with a wonderful set of products that doesn’t have a website or any means for customers to get in contact with for purchase. How do you think the company will fair? Sure, people that know the owners of the company can actively spread word of mouth and give great testimonials about the products of the company, but that will be very limited. Without a website to update your readers and potential sponsors about your latest racing results or thoughts, no one will be interested to sponsor you because there is just no interest.

So start by building a website and add quality content about yourself. Be sure to include the following:

  1. Pictures of yourself and every race that you enter
  2. News of your racing results, team and other gossips that you might be able to share with the public
  3. Contact details on how to get in touch with you or your public relations representative
  4. Miscellaneous videos of you and other aspects of your life. The public loves to know what goes on in your life so let them know. Take videos of the pit areas, conversations with the crew or any other information that you feel the outside world will not know about.
  5. Provide incentives for people that read your websites. For example you could provide a lucky draw for complimentary tickets to your next race.

Sean Edwards has a website that he actively updates with videos, pictures and quotes from himself and fellow drivers. In this way, he is able to connect to his audience about what is the latest news and results from him. Sponsors will not need to spend time searching for the progress and it serves as a good platform for sponsors to contact him too.

2) Develop a positive public image

It may seem that at lower levels of racing when there is not much attention on you that maintaining a positive public image is not important. It may be true at that point of time but when you climb up higher the career ladder, these things may come back and haunt you. So develop a positive public image to show the public about your personal life.

  1. Always be well dressed in public
  2. Gain publicity by attention events and doing charity work. Add these event and work pictures and content on your website for publication
  3. If you are comfortable with a certain brand, use it all the time. Do not brand hop. For example, if you like nike, use 90% of nike goods and do not use a range. When sponsors see that it is easy for them to pick up from where you are. So if you feel there is a good chance of getting sponsored by red bull, then drink it all the time.

3) Offer Driver training Services

One of the best ways to earn financial rewards from being a driver is that your audience will automatically think that you are a better driver than themselves. Sean Edwards offers his services about 2 years ago and now his clients have been part of sponsoring him too.

When his clients learn from him, they will be drawn by the amount of knowledge that he has imparted onto them. So in other words, his clients are already convinced he is a great driver and will not hesitate to invest to sponsor him for 2 reasons:

  • He is now a friend as initial contact has been established
  • He has proven he is a great driver which will signal great opportunity.

Use these 3 techniques that Sean Edwards has shared with you to bring your racing career to the next level by maintaining a high level of exposure for yourself and your racing  career.

Life of a Professional Racer Episode 4

While trying to achieve the best of your skills in racing, there will always be high points and low points in everyone’s career. And sometimes when the low points of your races come about, learning to deal with it and learn from, is something that if dealt with properly would be able to help propel the driver to higher levels of motivation to aim for success in the next race.

During the Hungary 2008 GP, Sean Edwards was in that exact situation. Just a few races ago, he has made great progress by reaching the podium several times and also clinching a few wins too. So coming into Hungary, spirits were high and confidence was booming for both driver and team.

The week-end got off to a great start with Sean ending up in 7th during practice as the car and circuit adapted very well. But during qualifying, the team didn’t get the desired set up thus relegating Sean down to 16th for the starting grid.

We thought we had it dialed in during practice but somehow in qualifying that just wasn’t the case for us so we’ll just try to do our best in the race.” Sean Edwards expressed as he prepared for the race ahead. Learning to look at the positive side of the situation during an unexpected poor performance is critical especially when the event is not over. If Sean Edwards had given up after qualifying and didn’t try to make the best of his situation, he may not even have wanted to start the race on sunday as the chances of podium looks so bleak.

The team, not letting this bad start dampen their spirits worked hard all night to prepare the cars which paid off as Sean got off to a great start in the race making up around 4 places off the line! Sean then made his way past a few cars and that’s when he started attacking Armindo, unfortunately for Sean, Armindo kept blocking him and closing the door. Armindo braked a bit early at turn 12 and Sean tried to take advantage of this by diving to the inside. But that proved to be a race ending mistake. Sean explained later “I tried to avoid contact by going over the curb, but that just launched me into the side of him and put me out of the race with broken suspension.”

Learning from this important lesson, Sean has accepted that sometimes things like this do happen. Drivers will never give way and you’ll be stuck in the situation so every overtaking move must be well calculated before executing it. But instead of blaming Armindo or his own overtaking move, Sean has decided to focus on the race ahead in Valencia as Hungury would be a weekend that the team will like to forget.

I can’t wait to go to Valencia to start the race and score a good result. I do admit Hungary wasn’t the best race of my career, but that is not my concern now as learning from my mistakes and making process is what i’m more interested in.” With a never say die attitude, Sean looks ahead to the coming race with excitement. With just 1 more week to go, drivers and teams has been intensively testing and trying on new set ups and prospects look good for Valencia to score another podium.

Life of a Professional Racer Episode 3

Nutrition and dieting is one component of developing a professional racing driving that many people don’t know about. But the truth is that professional racers spend as much time keeping their body in prime physical condition as they do in the race car itself.

The reason? Because the strain on the body from the high G forces can serious cause a lack of concentration as the body begins to fatigue. And in a race that can mean the difference between high sustained concentration or struggling focus that may lead to a deadly crash.

For Sean Edwards, working out and going on a strict diet routine is absolutely critical. Lets take a look and inside on what goes on during a typical workout day for Sean Edwards:

8:00am

Time to wake up and get the body functioning by going for a morning swim. A swim or any other form of endurance exercise in the morning will force the body to burn up store energy in the body. And since the body has just woken up from a 8 hour starvation period ( Sleep) then in order to find the energy for the exercise, the body will burn fat which would be the goal of the early workout.

Morning exercise options:
1)Swim 30 laps
2)Cycle 10 km
3)Run 5 km

10:00am

By now the body will be exhausted from the morning exercise which means it is time for a hearty breakfast. Nutrition is most critical within 1 hour after the exercise period as it is often referred to as the “Golden hour” where the body will be able to easily absorb all the nutrition that is being provided with.

Morning Breakfast Options:

1)1 bowl of oats with 1 banana and a glass of soy milk
2)French toast with coffee
01:00pm

This would be time for the second meal of the day. This meal will require high levels of carbohydrate and protein to sustain the body for the rest of the day.

Meal Options:

1)Salmon with mash potatoes
2)Chicken breast sandwich
3)Steak with mash potatoes

04:00pm

As the evening approaches, it is time for Sean Edward’s second workout of the day. It will involve resistance training so as to condition the muscles for the G forces that the body will experience.
He will choose from either one of these workout plans:

Workout 1:

  • Bench Press ( 4 x 20)
  • Shoulder Press (4 x 20)
  • Pull ups ( 4 x 10)
  • Crunches ( 4 x 25)
  • Medicine ball crunches ( 2 x 15)

Workout 2:

  • Squat ( 4 x 14)
  • Deadlift ( 4 x 15)
  • Good Mornings ( 4 x 15)
  • Medicine ball crunches ( 4 x 10)

06:00 pm:

For the post workout meal, it is essential that high levels of protein is taken to help in the muscle recovery process:

Meal options:

Protein shake and banana
Egg Sandwich and milk

09:00pm

As the day comes to a close, the body’s metabolism rates starts to slow and before heading off to bed, it is important to load up on protein and carbohydrate so as to allow the body to have the nutrients to sustain the recovery process during rest.

Meal Options:

Bread with peanut butter and milk
Chicken breast sandwich
Tuna Sandwich

That concludes a day of training in the life of a professional racer. Stay tuned for the next episode.

How do i become a Professional Race Driver?

Author: Daniel Charles, CEO, Global Racing Schools
Photo Courtesy of Emil Rensing,

This article will be split into lessons to shed some light into this age-long question issue so that aspiring drivers will know exactly how to get involved in the sport and ultimately achieve Motorsport greatness.

  • Motorsports is Not for Anyone

This first thing that you have to learn is that Motorsport is not a sport that is for anyone. If you were to pick 10 guys off the streets and ask them if they’re involved in Motorsports, there will be a high chance that the answer will be ‘No‘. This is mainly because Motorsport carries a high level of entry barrier for beginners due to the cost and niche market. In order to get involved, you have to know someone or at the very least start to know someone to rope you into the sport. A good way is to ask around to see if you have any friends that do any form of racing and request to join them on their next track day or testing session. It is important to have connections because there are just so many things to be learnt in this sport and it is not something as easy as buying a car to drive it on track. There are many procedures to competitions and rules that needs someone to guide you through.

  • Set Realistic Goals

The second thing you got to do is to set realistic goals. Professional racing is a Multi Billion dollar industry that Multi National Companies tap on to reach more customers and increase their profits. So when selecting a driver, they will naturally go for the most marketable choice to represent their brand.

Ask yourself: What is so special about you that someone will pay you to drive a car?

Audi R8

  • Accumulate some Motorsport Racing Experiences

Thereafter, you’ll have to start doing some form of motorsport racing. The most affordable form of racing is Go-Karting. Do not underestimate Go-Karting as it is the fundamental step to racing. You cannot become a great race driver until you’ve mastered karting. Even professional drivers, use go karts to tune up their racing skills during the off season. There are many good karting schools on www.Globalracingschools.com that will be very helpful in coaching you the art of racing. These schools include Jim Hall Kart Racing School, Protrain Academy, Chiesa Course and many more.

After you have mastered karting, there will be many other avenues that will open up for you. You can build connections to people in the industry, get to know some professional drivers, opportunities to test race cars and so fore. This will be explain in further chapters.

Stay tuned for more articles that will go into specifics on the course of becoming a race car driver.

Life of a Professional Racer Episode 2

This is the continuation for Life of a Professional Racer series. In this episode, follow us to track the life of Sean Edwards through the course of a typical race weekend. Get ready to be let into the behind the exhilarating scenes of professional racing!

Friday

The start of the racing weekend starts on friday with a qualifying session for the race on Sunday. Waking up as early as 6am in the monaco, Sean Edwards gets ready for his race both physically and mentally. It was a good day as the day was nice and dry but it will prove to be a potentially tricky circuit as Sean Edwards races on the Monaco Street Circuit for the very first time in the Porsche SuperCup.

Qualifying session started promptly at 9am. Right from the start the circuit proved to be a challenge that induced a minor driver error at the corner of “Casino Square” which lost some time for Sean. But being a seasoned driver, he quickly recovered from the incident and finished up the rest of the lap in stunning fashion to qualify an impressive 4th. After the qualifying session at about 10.30 time, it was time to head off to lunch in the special VIP Porsche Hospitality lounge. Not to mention, the food and service are top notch as the Monaco Grand prix is one of the most prestigious locations of the racing calender.

After lunch, it is back to work on the car with the mechanics to ensure everything is dialed in for Sunday’s race. And that means going through data collected from the session and analyzing it chart after chart. Finally at about 4, Sean Edwards completes his job for the day and head out for dinner and a night of party.

Partying in Monaco will not be complete without entering the VIP access of the Force India Party Yacht. Few will get to have this privilege as Sean parties with some of his close Formula 1 driver colleagues. The fun night comes to a close at 3am while Sean gets some rest.

Saturday

Saturday for Sean was relatively laid back as he didn’t have to head to the tracks. So it was off to do a little shopping in Monaco. Based in Monaco itself, this place is no stranger to him as he headed over to Carrefour to get some groceries just like any other person would. And ever so often, Sean will get a few Fans coming up to him for autographs and so will the pit girls. Then in the evening, it was time for dinner as the team had organized a Barbeque dinner back at the apartment to get together . Bonding with team mates and staff is very important as racing is a team sport and not a individual one. So good relationship and team work is needed to build a successful racing team.

Then its off to bed early at 10.30 as the race starts off at the crack of dawn the following day. Like any seasoned Professional Driver, Sean doesn’t feel the slightest bit of nervousness before the race on the following day.

Sunday

This is the day of the big race in Monaco and to everyone’s surprise, it was a very wet day. Expecting a large turnout for the event, the team makes a decision to head to the pits early so as to beat the traffic and get a head start to set up the car for the wet conditions. When it comes to racing at this professional level, it is absolutely critical the best possible effort is made to achieve a good race results for the team and team sponsors.

Sean and his team reached the track by 6.45 am and started to work on last minute data and strategies for the race itself. Although Sean is a relatively good wet driver, it is still the first time in Monaco and having a wet race with almost no visibility will really test Seans driving skills to its maximum.

The Race started promptly at 10.20 am with the Pit Girls dressed up in little Santa Claus outfits under the rain with umbrellas. After the start of the race, Sean immediately showed his skills as a driver as he viciously pushed Uwe Alzen to make a driver error in Lap 7 to clinch 3rd place. Fending off the seasoned Uwe for the rest of the race, Sean Edwards managed to finish the race in a very impressive 3rd place.

Race ended at 11.15am where the team celebrated on the victory before starting to pack the car. But just in the life of a professional driver, there is never a time to truly have spare time to party or celebrate as Sean had to make his way over to Spa, Belgium for a track day. Then upon reaching Belgium it was straight to the hotel and a dinner appointment with clients and potential sponsors.

Monday

Starting his day at 7am, Sean Edwards headed over to Spa, Belgium for the track day the started at 9am and finished at 5pm. The track day was the 2nd time for his client and it was in a Porsche 996 GT2 which sean already is an expert in. Using data analysis and making essential driver corrections, the day ended at 5 pm where the client’s lap time got deduced by 15 seconds in merely with the instruction from 1 day. This is exactly why clients keep coming back for more and even professional drivers seek the help of Sean for their driving careers

Then it was back to the hotel to rest up before heading over to France the following day.

Tuesday

Tuesday was an essential day for Sean and the Race team as they have to do a testing session at the Mangy Cour circuit in France ahead of the following race there on 22 June. It was a regular testing session using different set up and parts and at the same time to collect essential data about the car’s characteristics and handling on the track.

It was a wet test session so testing mainly focused on achieving higher grip levels and several wing settings. These testing sessions account for a good 60% of a driver’s time as there is just so many things that needs to be done before the team is ready to have a top performance before every race. So testing and having race strategy simulations are a troublesome task but critically essential one.

Testing session finished at 5 before Sean had to catch his plane back to England at 8pm. With classic driver skills , he made it with 5 mins to spare before the flight took off. Reaching England at 10.30pm, Sean headed home for some rest.

This is what happens during a typical weekend race for Sean and all professional drivers. It includes Public relations, testing sessions, track days and much more. Currently Sean is getting ready for his race in France on 22 june while all these starts all over again.

Life of a Professional Racer Episode 1

Sean Edwards is the up and coming driver in the world of motorsports. In this exciting Article Series, you are let into exclusive insights as the GT3 Champion reveals tips on how to improve your driving skills and how to give yourself the best chance to make it big. Follow us to track the life of Sean Edwards and see how he deals with the many issues of life and racing!

“Always follow your dreams and aspirations and don’t let anyone tell you how you should lead your life. You only live once so make sure you do what you really want to do.” – Sean Edwards

Exclusive Interview with FIA GT Champion Sean Edwards

1) Hi Sean, can you tell us a bit more about who you are and what do you do?

Well I am racing in the Porsche Supercup, FIA GT and VLN this year and I also do private coaching for track day drivers and racing drivers in between. I started karting when I was about 3 years old because my dad used to take me to the track very often. When I was about 10, I was racing competitively in international karting and I got pretty decent results, 4th in my Rookie Season and 3rd in my second season. So after that I made my way up to formula racing and finished 3rd in BRDC FFord and then spent 1 year doing Formula Renault but due to the lack of budget and my A level exams, I decided to take a 7 months break.

But after that I climbed into a GT car and started racing again, with an immediate victory in the British GT championship. Then I went onto winning the inaugural European GT3 Championship in 2006. Subsequently, I stepped up to FIA GT2 with the Porsche 997 RSR and finished 3rd in my first 24 hour race, at Spa Francorchamps, alongside factory Porsche driver Sascha Maassen. And here I am!

In terms of my coaching services, I started doing the corporate/experience events with Silverstone Circuit and have become a grade A ARDS instructor there. I did that for a couple of years before branching out on my own about 3 years ago and business has been treating me very well so far, with so much great feedback too. I do it both for financial reasons and also to share what I’ve learnt with other drivers, along with the fact that I enjoy teaching.

It gives me a lot of pleasure being around Motorsports, so that’s why I do it. I can’t imagine life without it!

2) So can you tell us a bit on a typical day for Sean Edwards?

Currently I’m in the Porsche Supercup, so a lot of my time is spent traveling. And other than that, I will be out on track giving private tuition to drivers. We usually spend the day going through things they can improve on and generally helping them understand how the car works and different techniques to get the best out of it and themselves. So basically my day gets spent either traveling, racing or coaching, with very little time off.

3) Is the Porsche Supercup also filled with its own gossips and scandals like in Formula 1?

(Laughs) I wouldn’t say that it is as much as it is in Formula 1 right now with everything that is going on. But we have our own share of the gossip. Nothing too major though. I mean every where you go, there will definitely be drivers that are not going to agree with you and thus friction is something that is not avoidable. Drama is a sure thing.

Though it doesn’t have as much as in Formula 1, we have our own share of the pie in one way or another. We’ll see how it goes this year as the season only just started so I can’t say much now.

4) Can you name some of the difficulties that you faced while trying to gain success in your Racing Career?

Sponsorship. Hands down that has to be the toughest thing I had to face in the early stages of my racing career. It is so hard to get sponsorship these days because it is no longer about being able to set good times and have an immense talent for racing. You need to be able to sell yourself and market your “product” to potential buyers. So financial sponsorship has been the biggest challenge.

Lucky for me, I had my dad to help me out a lot on that as he is very good at helping me market myself. He taught me a lot over the years and I wouldn’t have made it here without him.

5) Then how did you overcome them?

My Dad helped me with it. He was always out there looking for opportunities and ways to help me find more budget to race with and teach me how its done. He has been very supportive of my racing and I’m very lucky to have that kind of support.

6) What are some of the Mistakes that you made during your racing?

(Hmm..) That’s a Tough one. But I’ll have to say that my biggest Mistake thus far was going to Formula Renault. Many people that aspire to go to Formula 1 one don’t know that just trying to reach there will probably cost £4 million itself, but that alone does not secure you a Formula 1 place. I was one of them that went through the route of trying out Formula Racing but luckily enough, realized early on that the budget along that way is a big problem. So after 1 season, I stopped Formula Renault and went to GT Cars, where I have had a huge amount of success.

Moreover Formula 1 wasn’t for me too. The under steer and many of the car’s characteristics didn’t suit my driving style. It was a waste of my time and also a waste of my sponsorship money. That would have to be my biggest mistake to date.

7) If you were not a Professional Racer, What would you be now?

Wow. I never really thought of myself without Motorsports in my life. Ask any driver and I’m sure that you will not be able to get a solid answer. But I guess if I really had to think about it, I will have to say that I will probably be doing a high adrenaline form of work. I am not the type of person to be spending 9 hours a day behind an office desk pushing papers and doing admin work.

I’m just not that kind of person. I want to be doing something active and dangerous. That is what keeps me going.

8 ) What are your plans for the next 5 years?

Right now my plan is to do well in the Porsche Supercup. I’ll probably stay there for another 2 – 3 years and work to become a Porsche Factory Driver. That will be my main target. And once I get there, it is really up to them on what series they want to put me in. But as long as I can achieve that, I am happy.

9) What would you say to aspiring drivers that want to have a successful professional racing career?

Like any other ambitions of aspiration, there is simply no substitute for good old hard work.

Even if you are the next Racing prodigy or if you want to be the next Formula 1 Champion, you have to work very hard to get there.

Things like finding sponsorship and not giving up easily are just some of the fundamental issues that you have to work through if you ever want to race professionally. Remember that without money from sponsorship, your talent will be as good as nothing.

So always follow your dreams and aspirations and don’t let anyone tell you how you should lead your life. You only live once so make sure you do what you really want to do.

10) Your Next Race is in Istanbul, Turkey, how do you feel about it? Confident of winning?

Of course I am very confident that I can achieve a good result in Istanbul.

The last race in Barcelona, I just didn’t get the most out of the car in qualifying and although I had the 4th fastest race lap, once you start mid pack, it’s so difficult to make it back to the front in a one make series. It’s going to be tough as I have never been on the track before but as always I’ll be putting 110% into it.

Hopefully, I’ll qualify well and get a good result at the end of the weekend. I’ll be looking to place within the Top 10 for this race!

We wish you luck!
