– In all my working life I have tried to assess whether the risk and the expected return is roughly in the goals with each other. Personally, I have had an interest in the four-wheel motorsport in Denmark in lots of years and has in the past collaborated with, for example, Kris Nissen and the Danish talents.
Hemming Van has been impressed by Christian Lundgaards talent, setting and racerkørerens Italian manager Alessandro Alunni Bravi.

With the combination of a serious and not completely naive and blind faith that everything will go with, I think that it can succeed – even there are no guarantees. But the probability is greater than anything I’ve seen.
– I am quite sure that it will not be a crutch, but now they can focus on what it is about. To develop Christian, as the person and race car driver
