Hugo Mario Valente was born on June 17th 1992. He first started off playing soccer as his father did and almost joined the national team's training camp: Clairefontaine. However over the years, he developed a stronger love for Motorsports and in particular driving go-karts. As the monarch caterpillar turns into a butterfly, hugo went from go-karting to Autosport Academy and now to Formule Renault 2.0 . I post this article to my blog because this young driver is the-next-thing out there believe me, black man's intuition ;-). This season, he already won Best Rookie. While he still raced in Autosport Academy, On November 5th 2008, Hugo scored an incredible victory after starting from the 9th spot. Hugo manages to juggle between high school and the racing, so to us slackers that's a big slap in the face. He listens to a lot of Hip-Hop and parties in the hottest places. So to all Hevin-ists, stay tuned for more on this Soldier In The Making.
