A good atmosphere in a stacked team
Last year, a failure is a pain not only for Mantas, but also for a coherent team and partners. In order to prove that this is only a consequence of the ill -fated circumstances, the Bio Circle & Hsg by Swag decided not to change anything. Even in the race, Karolis Jovaiša, the former team leader of the Lithuanian, the fastest Lithuanian, decided to stay at the helm of Audi.
« This year, I received a lot of offers from other teams, some of them even better than ever, but I was charged with the atmosphere in this team, how good it was to start with the slightest detail, such as clothing, to a racing day.

« After last year’s race, there was a difficult period. We analyzed a lot of rides, sent the gearbox to the factory, but did not receive any answers. We watched the long distance race in Europe, where we saw Audi and Lamborghini accompanied by the same gearboxes. We assumed that maybe some detail was defective, ”explained K. Jovaiša.
Many racers admit that despite intensive workouts with simulators before the competition, real sports kilometers are still lacking.
Bio Circle & HSG by Swag team leader and its athletes hope that more than a month before the Aurum 1006 km race will be overcome this year and more kilometers on training tracks.
