The motivation of young driver from Var driver has never been stronger. He is preparing to take the wheel of a Formula Renault with Team Tech 1 Racing on a busy schedule with undisguised pleasure as he loves the Eurocup and NEC.

At 17, Dorian Boccolacci has had a difficult season in the FIA European F3 Championship where he managed a few strokes of brilliance like his 5th place at Spa-Francorchamps or his three consecutive good results at the Norisring, 6th, 8th and 8th. But his overall running deficit did not allow him to fight as consistently at the forefront as he deserved. In adversity, he developed a steely resolve to rebound this year in Formula Renault.

«For me, it’s not a move down to FR 2.0!» said Dorian. «I am here to continue to progress. My goal has not changed: I’m only interested in victory. The Formula Renault 2.0 is an excellent
car for this and my first winter test in December confirmed that this car suits me very well. Without being superstitious, I am happy to use my lucky number 9! «

«Beyond the car itself, it’s the team that matters. On this point, the choice of Tech 1 Racing is excellent. Simon and Sarah Abadie’s team is renowned for its technical skills but also for its
human qualities. I am happy to race with them and I am confident that they will bring me everything I need to move forward to victory. Their welcome to me has already shown that the trust is mutual.»

Tech 1 Racing has proven itself for many years in 2.0 and 3.5. The Toulouse team has an enviable prize list with the biggest names in motorsport such as Brendon Hartley, Charles Pic,
the late Jules Bianchi, Daniel Ricciardo, JeanEric Vergne and more recently Pierre Gasly and Anthoine Hubert. Undoubtedly Dorian has found a good place in the 2016 Formula Renault 2.0 testing alongside Hugo Sadeleer, Sacha Fenestraz and Gabriel Aubry.

«The presence of these three drivers in the team does not worry me at all, quite the opposite. We can work more effectively to bring the car to the point at every meeting. Then, once the start
is given, all the drivers are adversaries to fight against and I am determined to give the maximum in each race to reach my goal.»

Physical fitness has never been a concern for Dorian, but he is visibly even sharper than usual. Always motivated, he is facing the 2016 season with a mind strengthened by the trials from last
year. 14 races are on the programme as part of the Eurocup and the NEC (Northern European Cup) for which he knows most of the circuits.

The official collective tests held at Motorland confirmed the great form of the French driver who set the third fastest time of the two days of testing, despite some technical problems at the
end of the session.

«Being back at the top of the table is motivating and gives me even more desire to work hard. These tests enabled us to take away many positive points. I learned the Motorland Aragón circuit
while posting the fastest time of Sunday afternoon. The adaptation has been fast, although I could still have done better, but we were there primarily to prepare for the first qualifying taking place at this track in April.»
