The best Serbian race car driver and new ETCC champion Dusan Borkovic received an ETCC champions trophy last night in Paris on a traditional FIA and Eurosport prize giving ceremony.

Serbian champion once again made history by becoming the first ever race car driver from South East Europe to become European champion in two categories Hill Climb and Touring car championships. 

 

Borkovic finished his fantastic FIA ETCC season with 110 points. He held the leading position from the beginning of the season at Hungaroring and kept it till the end in Sicily where he had a crash which could have coasted him a trophy, but thanks to his Hungarian B3 racing team everything ended for the best.  

Two time European champion in his speech mentioned how important and emotional this season was for him. 

 

"This is the greatest award for the hard work my team and I put in. I am grateful to my sponsors, fans and media who’s support means a world to me. 

I was thinking a lot about the next season during the prize giving ceremony, because the main goal for us is to return to the world level of racing. 

I want to be among top drivers in a world championship in 2016, and to be one step closer to the world title, which is my dream. This award motivates me even more on my path to the world champion title.“-Borkovic said.

 

A lot of colleagues congratulated Serbian champion in Paris among others Sebastian Loeb, Norbert Michelisz. Yvan Muller, Gabriele Tarquini, Tiago Monteiro and others from rally and moto championships.
