- As my long-term goals are set to compete in international racing events I need to have experience and knowledge which Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asian Champion Mikko Eskelinen is best person to give to me as for past 10 seasons he's been competing in European and in Asian circuits with GT-car. Therefore I expect a lot from this co-operation as it provides me many shortcuts, Nurmi tells.

Also Mikko Eskelinen knows that past co-operation between drivers has provided excellent results.

- In past seasons GTM Motorsport, together with german Leipert Motorsport, has organized several Try Out events where talented Finns have been able to show their skills. In season 2017 event Juuso Puhakka was in excellent pace as in season 2018 he was the first-ever Finn who has won Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asian Championship series.
