I'd like to thank my wife, my family, team's partners, and, naturally, the Křenek Motorsport team. They all have a large share in the good result. It's been my greatest success so far, but also a challenge to another season, since I'd like to carry on good results. I'm gonna go on our proved cooperation with the Křenek Motorsport team and drive the BMW 320si again," Michal Matějovský said after the gala evening in Paris.
