Michael Saller will enter the second round of the 2012/2013 Rotax Pro Tour buoyed with confidence after a successful test program, and his result at the first round of the series held in Canberra in October.

Saller, who against more experienced opposition achieved pole position and a podium at the Canberra event, is hoping to continue his strong start to the season. The Todd Road round is one that many drivers set as their marquee event.

“Todd Road is a great track, its fast flowing and will be an excellent place to kick off our 2013 season. After the first round, my confidence is running sky high, during the off season we have been working very hard to take it one step further and achieve victory,” said Saller.

With the strong start to the year in mind, Saller remains focussed on the ultimate goal of the year, to represent Team Australia at the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals in New Orleans in November, a feat that many drivers are chasing.

“We must continue to place a focus on consistency throughout the year, and acquire rankings points on a regular basis to make sure I’m in a strong position to represent Australia,” Saller concluded.

Round 2 of the 2012/2013 Rotax Pro Tour will occur at Todd Road, Melbourne on January 25-27.
