Target in 2005: As this is the 2nd year of CUSCO World Rally team, winning an honor platform in WRC(World Rally Championship) or APRC(Asia Pacific Rally Championship) is our target this year.
Dreams in childhood: To be a truck driver, especially the dump truck. Because, his father and grandfather were truck drivers.
High school days: Loved music, and was taking part of drums in the band. Had many live concerts, but only the families and friends were the audience. Not being a good student, he regrets he should have studied at least English racing Internationally in WRC and APRC.
How he met Motorsport: As soon as he gets the driving license, he began to follow his elder brother driving in winding roads. After sitting in the passenger seat of Rally car of his friend’s brother’s, and experiencing the Drifting, he could not help starting the rally racing by himself.
How he became a WRC driver: Practiced and practiced. I hate losing, so I had done any effort I could do to drive faster and to win.
Being a Carrosser staff: To learn more about the cars, and to rally more professionally in mind are the reason of becoming a staff of Carrosser as an employee.

And working in Carrosser, that participates in many categories of competition and developing the products from there, he is proud of it not only as a rally driver, but also as a member of society.
