The Spirit Racing team heads
out to the sixth round of the European VdeV Endurance Championship with the aim
of taking victory in the latest three-hour race.
The Spirit Motor Group backed
squad has proved it has the pace to dominate the races in the series, taking
pole position in every round so far. However, a series of issues has prevented
the two-car team from getting the deserved results. For the Ledenon event, the
team is better prepared than ever and is keen to bring back silverware from the
meeting.
“We certainly hope that both
cars will be up there fighting for places on the podium,” said Rob Garofall.
“Adam and Jamie had a good test in their 2007 car last week and it should go
well around Ledenon.”
Simon (Phillips) and I are
effectively second in the championship at this point, so a good solid result for
us would help our championship charge along nicely,” he
added.
The team will be boosted by
finally having new team engineer, Alan Mugglestone, on board from this round
onwards. His expertise and experience should certainly help the team stay ahead
of the other teams on the grid.
“We’re certainly hoping to
come away from Ledenon with a good result,” added Adam Derbyshire. “We’ve been
working hard on the development of the 2007 car with Alan and its certainly
moving us forwards in terms of pace and drivability. We should be well prepared
to be right at the sharp end over the rest of the season now,” he
said.
The team will take to the
track for qualifying on Saturday, with the three-hour endurance race taking
place on Sunday.
