“It’s very special. To be able to get the first win for the team is incredible. I’ve been working with Boy Sanders my coach, Dario Cioni and Simon Watts towards this. Just to be here was huge, but to pick up the win means a lot. I know how much time and effort these guys have put into our Academy and I’ve seen how passionate they are. It’s the best feeling to be able to pay it off for them and what we’re working towards.”

“I’d chatted with Dario prior to the race,” Rogers continued. “We knew the wind conditions and we knew it would pick up throughout the day, and tried to get my start position as early as possible. The effort was executed perfectly. We did lots of reconing yesterday and today. I didn’t brake once to be honest, I was just flinging through the corners. I had to dig really deep and I left it all out there. There’s no better feeling.
