“I really like the Austrian circuit and I’m glad that we’ll start the season with this race, especially since last year I achieved some of the best results of my career here.
Now it’s primarily a preparation round because I want to see where we are in terms of performance level after the pre-season tests. It’s a long and very important season for me,” said Luca Viisoreanu, ahead of the first race weekend of 2025.

"The pre-season tests were very balanced and it is clear that the new season will be a very competitive one. There are many valuable drivers with a similar level of performance, and this motivates me even more to give my best. 2025 is a very important year for me in which I want to achieve the best possible results, which will help me continue my career and maybe take the step towards Formula 3 next season", continued Luca Viisoreanu.
Before the start of the season, three test sessions were scheduled on the circuits of Misano, Le Castellet and Mugello, and the Real Racing team tested various settings and configurations of the car for the races that follow on the calendar.
