Racing driver that never appeared to regularly compete in any major series, and as such has no coverage in reliable sources. Fails WP:GNG. QueenCake (talk) 20:20, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. I can see why there are no other comments on this one, it required a lot of investigation...first off I looked at Notability motorsports - a driver must have been professional on at least one occasion in a major competition - then had to trawl through the numerous amateur tournaments he competed in to see if anything he competed in was professional. The article mentions two professional appearances in the GT3 European so I thought he's in, but on closer inspection the GT3 was intended for amateur drivers however some were paid, therefore my opinion is that he fails notability motorsports because the cost of the drive would largely exceed the likely paid fee. Happy to further discuss this one. Szzuk (talk) 20:14, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. European GT3 doesn't quite clear the bar for notability, and he doesn't seem to clear GNG otherwise. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:48, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
