QUOTES - MARCOS AMBROSE

“Gateway is a tricky sort of track with the different corners at each end but it’s an interesting challenge,” said Ambrose.

“It’s a tough place to get a really strong set-up going, so if you can get the car right early in the weekend you’re in for a good run.

“We had a solid race here last year so we’ll be looking to improve on that.

“I am really keen to keep scoring those points so that we can climb into the top 10. You’ve got to capitalise on every opportunity you get between now and the end of the season if you want to finish in that top 10.”
