“2025 season was an amazing season, I improved well, on the racing, at dealing with the pressure, and the strategics. I know where my weak points are, and I’m working on them. I am 100% committed to the sport!”

“ During the winter, I have been training mostly in Europe, on ice and snow, and I will go to Finland in a few weeks, for more ice training”

Nicolas’s 2026 season will be mainly focus on the FIA Rallycross Championship, starting with official FIA testing, in Latvia on the 23 and 24 April.

“This season is going to be tough!” says Nicolas.

“There are some very fast drivers already signed for the season. But I know I have the pace to fight for podium finishes. The aim this year is to do better than last year, and to fight for the title!”
