2009 End of Year Wrap-up
Media and Marketing
- In March, a quick visit to Brazil to visit his family turns into an unexpected media exposure. Fulvio's former sponsors put together a party to celebrate this visit. However, the party turns into a 30 minute TV show about Fulvio, his move to Australia, his past and future racing career, and his sponsors. Fulvio was not expecting such exposure as at the time it had been over 4 years since his last race.
- Fulvio established UniversalScores.com, a website that tracks car, kart and motorbike racing across Australia and Brazil. The system imports over 7000 timesheets per year from several sources, analyses each timesheet and stores individual information on the timesheet and the drivers. It also has a search functionality for events, series and drivers.
Technical - The Oran Park V8 Test
- In August, Fulvio tested a Holden Commodore V8 at Oran Park, NSW, Australia.
- Scheduled to be only 8 laps, the test extended to 11 laps given the team owner recognition of Fulvio's techniques.
- This test marks the first time Fulvio drives a right hand side race car.
- Fulvio has great chances of racing in Australia in 2010.
Studies
- In November, Fulvio finished Business Systems Analysis and Design in Sydney, Australia
