Collaboration with Porsche Center Varese? We were lucky to work with Varese, we won a total of five championships with them: first of all they are friends, Varese is a city close to us, the relationship is excellent and we want to try to repeat and improve what we did last time. year. Participating is good, but winning is even better and in our history we have won a few things“.

To launch the dance champion in carica De Amicis: “The past is the past, now let’s think about the future. In addition to the financial support, Centro Porsche Varese is there on a human level and this is really happy because the level of the championship is very high, every driver has improved, including Paolo first, and we will do everything possible. that the Ebimotors team can close from winning again this season“.

Then the long-awaited moment: the hoods were removed from the cars to present the announcements of Porsche number 52 (De Amicis) and number 51 (Gnemmi):

Enthusiastic and excited Maurizio Jeropoli Comment: “After many years in motorsport, this year this great opportunity has come to collaborate with Paolo and Ebimotors and I can only be proud. It is very interesting to see the name of Living Kart on the suits and cars of Ebimotors because it is the company that I started with my brother 24 years ago: we don’t have our own car anymore, but I manage the sports association with the same passion as mine. I’m starting and getting here is amazing. My desire for Ebimotors is to achieve as much satisfaction as possible.”

Intention and intention, Paolo Gnemmi does not hide: “The feeling is good because we are coming off a good winter test and Misano, where we will play for the first time, is a song that I really like: I would like to sleep now to wake up on qualifying day. De Amicis someone to beat? Absolutely yes. They say that the first opponent is your partner and in this case it is doubly true: he is the most experienced and strongest rider and the reigning champion, but also the person who taught me a lot. So this year I want to reap the fruits of my labor and I’m working hard on a physical level to try to win: I’ve also started a process with a sports psychologist to always have the right mindset for every race. I would like to get a good result to be able to properly thank Ebimotors and Centro Porsche Varese“.

Considering the experience, the victories behind us and the titles of the reigning champion, Alberto De Amicis never hides and with a smile he says: “I am definitely the most expert of the lot, but there is no shortage of competition and the winner is always those who can improve their performance throughout the season, stay out of trouble and at the same time try to collect as many results as possible. . To prove yourself again you need courage. Paolo Gnemmi? I think he is one of the favorites along with Giorgi and De Giacomi, because they are fast and experienced riders, but be careful with possible outsiders; I think there are at least six who can scare me, but I just want to think about myself race by race and have a lot of respect for my opponents. At Ebimotors we have already won a lot: I am the name written on the windshield, but behind me there is a whole team working hard so that we drivers can compete for victory. Therefore, paying them for success is an additional incentive“.
