My latest guest for the '10 Questions' is Danish star, Sebastian Øgaard! Sebastian spent last year with a split campaign competing in the Euroformula Open Championship and the Formula Regional European Championship(FRECA), while this year has begun with a round in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship(FRMEC).
At 19, Sebastian has established his name in single seaters particularly in 2022 when in the Euroformula Series he managed a race win and 2 podiums for Van Amersfoort Racing as he competed a partial campaign in the series.

In his FRECA campaign, he featured as a guest driver KIC Motorsport and has figured in a similar role in FRMEC, completing a round with the Hyderabad Blackbirds by MP Motorsport team.
2023 marks his fourth year in single seaters having competed in Italian and Danish F4 in 2020, Spanish F4 in 2021 as well as his outings in EFO and FRECA in 2022 and now FRMEC for 2023.
