BF-133, 169926, nmks, first flight May 10, 2022.

Vier races verreden en ik voel me net zo als Lulu Hamilton. Dat maakt mij aan een kant zeer blij maar aan de andere kant heel erg teleurgesteld. Maar ja wat doe je als je beide coureurs er in bocht twee er al uitliggen.

Ik doe dit keer mee aan de comeback.
