Jason Alder Review
" Winning My First Formula Race "
Winning my first race in Formula 4 was not easy, I spent a number of hours,weeks,months training on the simulator over lockdown during Corona Virus. I am extremely fortunate to have something as close to real life as possible in the comfort of my own home.
