C'est avec regret que nous avons appris le décès de John Beshro que l'on nommait Junior. John était le père de Tommy Beshro bien connu dans le milieu du karting.

Mikaël et son équipe tiennet à offrir leurs sympaties à Tommy et toute sa famille.

Lors de la première course de la saison prévue le 19 mars prochain, Mikaël dédiera sa course à John Beshro et affichera un ruban commémoratif sur sa voiture.

The Star Mazda official tests that were holding at Sebring, Florida is now done.  «Yesterday we tried various setups to help to get a better car, harder suspensions but it wasn't good at all. During the afternoon we came back wth the Friday setup but something was wrong, we discovered a broken coil spring.  When it was fixed, I was the fastest and then we had a red flag, we had to pit, and when it came back to green, we only had 10-15 minutes and the rain starts to fall on a part of the track, so the team took the decision to stop and end the day to avoid any accidents. I was very happy with the tests and very very happy to have back in my hands the steering wheel.»

Mikaël will have private tests on the same track on March 8.
