His resilience, doggedness, dedication and determination to success has led him to clinch this victory as he never give up but keep pushing till the end of the race against all odds.
Ugochukwu made his first mark in motorsport when he won the ROK Cup USS championship title and expanded his horizons by competing in European aeries, securing second place in the Mini ROK Cup and Mini 60 Italian Championship.
