Memo ROJAS :
I am very happy to confirm my return in 2022 to the DUQUEINE Team, the team I raced with in 2021. I would like to thank Mr Duqueine and Max Favard for reinstating me in the team.
In 2021, we had a great season with some great races and we managed to finish 5th in the championship. This year, the objectives are more important. We want to do much better results and we also want to fight for the championship.
Throughout the winter we have been working on a programme that will help us achieve these goals.
I am very happy to be part of the DUQUEINE team again. Last year I really enjoyed working with the whole team, the mechanics, the engineers…
I’m looking to have a great 2022 season and… Let’s go
Richard BRADLEY :
I am very happy to be rejoining Duqueine for the 2022 season. I had some really good times with them in 2019 and whilst bad luck didn’t get us the results we deserved, I really enjoyed the working dynamic and potential within the team. Since then they have brought in some staff who I have worked with in the past and had great success with and with the speed and experience in the driver line up am confident we can aim for top results everywhere we compete.
Reshad DE GERUS :
I am proud to join the DUQUEINE Team for this season in the ELMS. This is a new challenge in my career and I can’t wait to start working with the team. We all have the desire and ability to achieve great results and we can’t wait to start the season!
