Nathanaël Berthon without a steering wheel to run his businesses
The driver has not taken part in any competition since the Andros Trophy final. The Clermont-Ferrand native had several opportunities at the start of the season, but had to turn them down. He preferred to look after his businesses and ensure their continuity.
He brought with him the good memories of 2023. The white suit with a few appearances of blue and red here and there with the big name Glickenhaus. And his helmet tribute to the American team, with which he participated in Le Mans last year. An experience that the Clermont native remembers well. « We had a good race. We finished in sixth and seventh place. For small teams like us, it was excellent », he recalled. He was able to do another race with Glickenhaus at Monza, before the team had to end its program due to lack of means.
On the occasion of the Charade Super Show, the driver who is close to the 1.90 meter mark commented on his long period without competition. Since the final of the Trophée Andros on January 27, he has not taken part in any race. This weekend, he finally got into a track-dedicated car: a hydrogen prototype from GCK. « I miss it… »
At the head of several companies
The public could have found him in championships he likes, but he had to decline several offers. They were very good opportunities. I had one in Hypercar to do the full season of the World Endurance Championship. And another in GT World Challenge, he revealed to us. Without revealing the identity of the teams.
Back in the coming months?
But before getting back in a car, he feels the need to get back in shape. Like when Glickenhaus called me for Le Mans. He had then followed a drastic diet and lost several kilos in order to be ready for the 24-hour race. It was a big diet, meals were prepared for me, everything was calculated. With a lot of cardio on the side.
