Gijs Herpers - Team Manager

We are very happy that we are now officially contenders in the 2001 GPVWC!

The trial race was not without troubles for us but we hope to have everything sorted out before the first race! The qualifying was very surprising with Greg taking a top 6 position. Shaun had some troubles and had not enough time to show how competitive he is. The race was actually more a disaster then the qualifying. Our number one driver, Shaun, was sick and only managed to finish the race in a bad condition. Greg experienced some technical difficulties (with GP3) and he couldn't save the race at the right moment.

We were 'lucky' that the two drivers of Ferrari Racing didn't submit their files. We are looking forward to the first race so that we can show how much we are really worth!

Good luck to all other teams for the rest off the season.

Shaun Marshall - Driver 1

Just like to say thanks to the XanF1 team for all there hard work over the past 3 months!

I was very happy with the first impressions of the car but after the race in France think that there is still a lot of work to be carried out over the next coming weeks.

In the actual race I had a major problem with the electrics & computers controlling the fuel system after lap 20 which did cause a number of problems for me in the race.

I hope we can look at these in time for Melbourne and we can Challange for the top 6.

I'll see you all on the grid in Melbourne and I hope we all have a good race.
