“This news is probably one of the media’s worst kept secrets but now it’s official! I am very happy to be working with Beppe and Felipe. They are personal friends and I believe they will bring a great depth of experience to our line up this year” Andy Woolgar, Creations Commercial Manager commented. “We tested with them in Barcelona and they both put in plenty of laps and gave us excellent feedback. They were very impressed with the DBA, so we expect the new ’Creation CA006H’ to blow their minds! This time in Barcelona was very useful because we were able to learn a lot about their approach, driving style and speed, all of which was very impressive”.

Beppe and Felipe have raced together for many seasons, notably with the RfH Dome team and with DAMS in the FIA GT Championship. “I think coming to Creation is an exciting move both for them and us as a team. They have an excellent mindset, both are very focused on getting podium results this year, and I think we are the team to make that a strong possibility”.

“Regarding any other Creation news, for now I have to remain tight-lipped but we will have more interesting announcements shortly”.
