Dušan Borković, racing driver I’ll share the track with Rossi – that’s like a dream to me As of this April, we will be following the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, in which Serbia will have its own representative for the first time

ko ćemo i sa Sarom, pa će nas bi- ti pun boks. Ne volimo da se raz- dvajamo i ovo je za sve najbolje rešenje. Probili smo led i siguran sam da će i sada ići sve glatko ka- da nas je četvoro. Često putujete. Gde vam se najviše svidelo i kakva su vam iskustva sa Er Sr- bijom? – Kada govorimo o prekooke- anskim letovima, omiljena desti- nacija je svakako Njujork. U Evro- pi, volim Barselonu. Na stranu to što je i supruga i ja obožavamo kao prelep kosmopolitski grad, u ko- jem ne znate na koju stranu pre da gledate od lepote, sada smo za taj grad vezani i poslovno.

sport team, which has been compet- ing successfully in this champion- ship for years. Borković trained on the Paul Ricard Circuit to prepare for the start of the season and the first race in Imola (3 rd April). “For every race I drive with two other drivers, with whom I share the car, and we devise tactics as a team. The seat will have to be adjusted for everyone, which will be done for me due to my height, and entering the box to switch drivers, refuel and change the tyres takes just 40 sec- onds.
