The words of Paolo Simoncelli

Paolo Simoncelli, father of the unforgettable Marco, è ready to start a new season with the team named after his son. To do so, he posted a nice message of "good luck" to all those who work there.

"I used to buy San Carlo chips just because é there was Sic on them, and now I can not think of a starting grid without seeing your colors!" Soì wrote to me a short time ago, a little girl who has now grown up, making me think about what this team means to me…

With one half of you we are connected because of your time with Marco, because you met him in person, and entered your homes and hearts, you were first his friends and then his sponsors. With the other half here because you were carried away by his sporting exploits and his talent made him your friend. All of us-because we fell in love with his swagger on the track and sweetness off it. The last ones left, becauseé a little bit, I am good at it too.

I want to toast us SIC58 Squadra Corse, sometimes singled out for being too outspoken but after all, in a world as false and fatuous as today’s, more real than ever. I want to raise a glass to all of you who are part of it, without you, pillars of this reality, the racing team would not exist. As indeed without "Marco" the very essence of it all, we would have no reason to be gathered here.

Together we are the proof that when a dream is shattered you have to be able to build a new one, trying day by day, until the end because é è only in this way; you become great. Here’s to our stubbornness, becauseé we don’t give up and every year we have the courage to try again with the same strength as the first one, maybe even more. Good luck SIC58 SQUADRA CORSE!".
