Kieran Ryan is happy about his quals in Monaco.

"Well, that went really really well. I pushed all morning for that lap, and after the problems of yesterday, I'm really glad."

"The team solved the under/over steer we were experiencing, so that was good. My time was good, but could have been better. I jumped out of the car and went straight to no.17 [Mikko Jakonen], as usual he had loads of telemetry around his car, we had a quick chat and both agreed were we were losing time, but it was too late in the session, to improve, so we settled for 4 and 5th, and nice for a change to be ahead of that Finn for once!"

"Our times could have been faster, maybe into the 1m 18.5s, so a front row for either of us was possible, though pole was a bit out of reach today. We're getting closer and closer to the top times, out best team performance, quite exceptional."

"For the race, I think we can be stronger. The KRB's have gotten their act together and put it up ahead of us but we'll bounce back. I've always finished ahead of my qualifying position, well ahead, so a double podium would be great, maybe the top step after all, we'll see!".
