Nissany began his car racing career in 2010, finishing 8th in the 2010 Formula Lista Junior championship and scoring a pole position in Monza.[6] In 2011, he moved to the ADAC Formel Masters series (now ADAC Formula 4), driving for Mücke Motorsport and finishing the season in 11th.[1] Nissany competed again in 2012, finishing in 9th place and scoring one win at the Red Bull Ring.[7][8]

Formula 3 European Championship

In 2013 Nissany moved up to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Mücke Motorsport, scoring 11 points including two 8th-place finishes, and ending the season in 22nd place in the championship.[1] He competed again in 2014, finishing 17th in the championship with 26 points, his best result being 6th place at the Nürburgring.[9][10]

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

In 2015 came a move to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series with Tech 1 Racing. Nissany ended the season in 13th place with 27 points and a best finish of 3rd at the Red Bull Ring.

gollark: You can't really get 3090s because Nvidia does not allow them to be used in datacentres. Apparently "vast.ai" has them (they run them not in datacentres or something) although I have never tried them for anything. I'm pretty sure there are various model hosting providers available.
gollark: The Ubuntu IRC stuff is formatted as `<person> message` so you probably have to format it like that.
gollark: Some of the documentation there mentions a GPT-89B, which is odd.
