My latest guest is 18 year old Dutch driver and 2021 Spanish F4 champion, Dilano Van 't Hoff!
Dilano spent last season racing in the Formula Regional European Championship(FRECA) as well as a stint in the Asian edition of the series, fighting for podiums in a number of events.
His 2021 Spanish F4 title came in impressive fashion, beating his closest challenger, Sebastian Øgaard by over 100 points and beating a number of worthy opponents including F3's Pepe Marti, Irish up and comer Alex Dunne and other drivers he'd compete against in future series'.

Not bad in his first year of single seater racing!
