F4-S TROPHY CHAMPION MIKE SZYMURA STEPS UP INTO F1H2O TO JOIN TEAM EMIC
F1H2O

Wednesday, 10 February: Team EMIC has confirmed that Germany’s Mike Szymura will join them in 2016 to partner Norway’s Marit Stromoy who guided the Abu Dhabi-based outfit to third overall in the Team Championship last season.

The 22-year-old from Berlin steps up following an impressive three year reign in the F4-S Trophy Championship which he dominated since making his debut in 2013.

The 2015 and three-times F4-S Trophy Champion will step up into the top-flight of circuit racing and comes with an impressive CV. He was the standout driver for the last three years winning a hat-trick of titles, taking seven Grand Prix titles, winning 10 races with seven further podium finishes from 28 starts. In 2015 he led Team Germany to an impressive third place in their debut outing in the Nations Cup World Series.

Initial plans for him to make his debut running in a Jonathan Jones Dragon boat at the season-opener in Dubai on 2-4 March have been put on hold due to time constraints and will likely come in to play when the championship heads to Europe and to Croatia in June, with Szymura kick-starting his F1H2O career in a DAC.

The team has also announced that Tom Chiappe will line up for them and make his debut in the F4-S Trophy Championship.
