Clément Novalak Review
" Quali is all! Thats what I practiced relentlessly! "
More than ever in formula racing, quali is the most important aspect of the weekend. With the Cool Performance simulator I practice day in day out in the quali mode making sure i know what I'm doing when I hit the track.

He has since moved into endurance racing, finishing 2nd in LMP2 at the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans.
