M. Michelin: First off, we would like to apologize for holding the announcement for almost 24 hours, but we had some issues...
*V10 roars down the track*
M. Michelin: You all must be wondering why as well we changed the location of our media day to Interlagos. Well, if that sound didn't answer all of your question, guess we'll have to answer right here.
We are here in Interlagos to announce two things. 1st is, Interlagos will be hosting round 5 of the GT3 World Series! The event will be sponsored by Petrobras, and thus will be named the Petrobras Brazilian Grand Prix!
*applauses*
*V10 accelerates until peak RPM, then turns off. A driver gets out of it.*
M. Michelin: Ah, seems like my teammate has got out of our car. Let's wait a little bit while he gets ready for the other annoucement.
*A second and third seat is placed behind the table and two plaques with the names written on it.*
*The other persons take their places*
M. Michelin: Guess we'll start the team annoucement now. Well, here with me are two really important persons to me and to my team... well, here it comes!
*At the end of the room, a Carbon Fiber and Light Yellow Lamborghini enters the room really, really loudly*
*All the journalists start staring at it and taking pictures.*
M. Michelin: Ok, you guys know me from last season, but we'll have to do the intros anyway. I'm Matheus Michelin, owner and driver of Michelin Racing. We have been racing since 2008 and are proud to announce that we will be of course racing in the GT3 World Series! We have partnered with Lamborghini, Reiter Engineering and Subway to be able to participate in this season.
*applauses again*
M. Michelin: Here with me are my teammate and best friend, Raphael Stefano and our crew chief and my dad, Ary Jr. If you haven't noticed yet, my decision to this season is to do a family and friends team. So yes, all the team, from the owner to a mechanic will be formed by my family and friends. We went with style of team in a competitive series because we fully believe we can do that, we can win. Simple as that. Rapha, dad, anything to add?
Ary Jr: No.
Rapha Stefano: Nothing to add.
M. Michelin: Ok, following that, we are open to questions.
M. Michelin: Ok folks, that's all for today. We have a wide selection of cars for you guys to test out at the track. Yes, the track is open for a quick track day. Go enjoy yourselves. Also, considering the time, go get something to eat, because that's exactly what I'll be doing! hahaha.
