Juha ❤️

Thank you for sharing your Nürburgring passion with us all over the years. I have valued the many laps we did together — Touristenfahrten, trackdays, Scuderia Hanseat and more. Getting into your passenger seat was always inspiring, and even driving with you between all your garages and storage places around Nürburg was a joy. I will truly miss all the discussions we had together with friends about the things that every now and then seem to be the most important thing in the world — how to drive the Nordschleife, and how to do it in the best and safest way.

At the top of the list was being invited by you and Dan to be your teammate in the BMW #121 for NLS and the 24H — sharing some of my very best Nürburgring experiences, and to date one of my most valued driving moments. Thanks for all the encouragement, generosity and good advice — even though it didn’t stop me from doing 62 km/h in the pit lane, which dampened your enthusiasm for me at least at that moment.

The Nürburgring lost on April 18th one of its most passionate drivers — one of the big boys, and a genuinely kind and very apprichated friend.

I will drive on. I will miss you, but will have a smile on my face when thinking of you. And from now on, I’ll also have a Weissbier every now and then.

My thoughts are with Juha’s family and loved ones

See you later.
