Joining Team WRT: The Phone Call That Changed Everything

‍

There are moments in a racing career that divide everything into before and after. The call from Team WRT was one of those moments. Here is the story of how it happened and what it meant.

‍

I was in the middle of a gym session when my phone rang. I almost did not pick up. The conversation lasted about fifteen minutes. By the end of it my entire season plan had changed. Team WRT have won the GT World Challenge Teams title multiple times. They run some of the best engineers in the paddock and they attract drivers who are serious about results. Being offered a seat felt surreal.

What professionalism looks like up close

‍

The first thing that struck me about Team WRT was the level of preparation before you even sit in the car. Every meeting is structured. Every engineer has a specific role and they communicate cleanly. There is no time wasted. You arrive and the car is ready. The data is already being reviewed. That environment pushes you to be sharper as a driver because everyone around you is operating at the same level.

Joining a team like this early in your career is an opportunity you do not take for granted. I go to work every race weekend knowing that the people around me have won at the highest level of GT racing. That standard becomes your standard.
