Andrea Caldarelli revs up for the 2016 SUPER GT Series with LEXUS TEAM LEMANS WAKO’S
With two time pole-to-win victories in the SUPER GT Series of 2015, Andrea Caldarelli (from Pescara, Italy – Age 25) now comes upon his 6th year racing in Japan, and sets to seeking a whole new set of challenges through the eight rounds scheduled in this Series. Andrea has recently signed with the prestigious Team LeMans, and will unite forces with his new Japanese teammate Kazuya Oshima (Age 28). After some more winter tests and preparation, the pair should be ready for the season’s first round (at Okayama International Circuit), which is to be held over the weekend of April 9th – 10th.
Andrea Caldarelli:
“I have driven before with TEAM LEMANS in the SUPER FORMULA, and have deep trust for Kenji-san (Kenji Yamada / Engineer). I’m also very confident about working with my teammate Kazuya (Oshima), so I’m really looking forward to this new season! And more than anything, the presence of our Team Director, Wakisaka-san is encouraging – it means a lot to us drivers. With the team as one, we will focus on giving our best through the entire season. And to our kind supporters, please give your cheers for car No. 6 dressed in bright WAKO’S colors! We are counting on your grand support!!”
