FinOz Racing drivers took 4th and 10th place for the French GP after interesting qualifying session where times getting faster and faster all the time.

Team Boss & Driver Kari Koski's comments:

"4th and 10th places are quite good considering we are quite badly down from the top end BHP and this track need good balance between cornering grip and straight line speed. We know we have good grip but we lack the top end speed and acceleration out of the corners. Steve's 4th place is another remarkable proof of his and car's speed. At Italy we saw you can start from p14 and end up in 4th place. So I'm not too worried about my grid position either. I think we have very consistent race setup and race should be ok for us."

Steve E's comments after French GP Qualifying:

"I'm very happy with how my qualifying went, it was an ok lap. We seem to be struggling for speed on the long straight & we are also lacking a bit of acceleration out of corners. I'm very confident for the race, after doing some long runs on a very heavy fuel load, where my laptimes are very consistent. I'm not worried about the gap to pole, it's the race that really counts."
