Marco Romero:"I'm feeling incredibly optimistic about my racing journey with Driven. This year, I'm pushing hard in karting, competing in both Skusa Mini Swift and Mini Rok categories. Looking ahead to next year, my aim, alongside Team Benik and the support of Driven, is to step up into the Skusa and ROK Junior categories and do testing in single-seaters as I come of age. The past year has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but every moment has been a valuable experience. My ultimate aspiration as a driver is to make it to Formula 1 – that's where my sights are set, and that's where I'm determined to reach. I can't express enough gratitude to my family and Team Benik for their unwavering support on this journey, and now, with the backing of Driven, I'm looking forward to an exciting and promising road ahead."
