Arela Grand Prix Engineerig held a small press conference to talk about their efforts in the trial race.

I would be lying if I said I was suprised at how well Arela has done out of all the new teams.
After careful review of the scores it appears as though Arela is ranked 1st out of the new teams that have joined the league. With good sponsors and two good drivers we are well on our way to having a good standing in GPVWC.
I would like to congratulate Rob Hagarty and Marco Rosas for their efforts in the qualification and race and I am looking forward to similar efforts in future races, well done!
Finally I would like wish all the teams and drivers good luck with the upcoming race.

Today's French GP trial race was a tough race for me, as I am suffering with a virus and found the going pretty hard throughout the race. I was pretty surprised about qualifying 4th for the GP, even though it was fairly obvious the really quick guys were not trying as hard as us newbies! It was a good feeling though and I think a good idea so new drivers such as myself can feel some early success and not lose faith too quickly!
The race started well for me and I slotted into 2nd place for the early running. I wonder now how the results will pan out with the other competitors and what shape Arela will be in when the results are posted. I also wonder how well I may have performed had I not been suffering a thumping headache and sore throat throughout the race!
