Hugo Valente will undertake a rigorous training programme ahead of next season’s FIA World Touring Car Championship Argentina opener.
The 22-year-old rising French star will continue in the #7 Campos Racing Chevrolet RML Cruze TC1 after scoring three podiums in 2014.
“Hugo is engaging in a hard physical training programme,” explained Valente’s manager and coach Philippe de Korsak. “He will also make some ice ledge testing this winter to improve his driving in low-grip conditions.”
Valente placed 12th overall in the final WTCC drivers’ standings in 2014. Renowned engineering firm RML, the company behind the Chevrolet Cruze TC1, will provide increased technical support to Valente in 2015.
