Euan Hankey, driver of the n°34 TF Sport Aston Martin with Salih Yoluk, is currently leading the first Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup title race after two rounds. Hankey is one of the rising stars of UK motorsport. The 2015 24 Hours of Dubai class winner has competed in several major international and national championships in both single seater and sportscars and is now one of the leading drivers in the new Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup. We caught up with Euan Hankey ahead of the 3rd round of the series, the Red Bull Ring.
What are your thoughts about the first two races of the season?
The first 2 races have been a slight mix of emotions, with winning the first race at Imola and more recently finishing a disappointing 4th at Le Mans whilst a podium place was on the cards.
As the leader of the championship, how will you approach the next event at the Red Bull Ring?
The Red Bull Ring will just be another round in the championship for us, we will be heading there with the same mind set as all of our races which first is to finish and to try and obtain as many points as possible.
What are the strengths of your team to win the first title of the Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup?
We are a small tight knit team who have a great team spirit; I hope with those qualities it will put us with a fighting chance at the end of the season.
Which race are you looking forward to the most for the rest of the season?
Spa is obviously one of the best tracks in the world so I hope we will be competitive there. I am also looking forward to Paul Ricard as I believe our package will be good there.
