''"The fact we have got our team together so early and we can all now prepare well in advance means we can all gel and prepare ourselves really well before the first race in Australia. Also to get 2 drivers of such talent and experience in a brand new team is quite something and we are all looking forward to the challenge that is ahead of us. It won't be easy for sure, there are some teams on the grid this year with a lot of experience and some very quick drivers so we need to be on our A-game from the first race."''

The hard work we all put in as a team was incredible, we bonded really well in such a short space of time and the reuslts spoke for themselves. Jonathan and Menno did a really fantastic job and represented the team very well all year. Daniel Hurlock as well who we brought into the academy at the start of the year was a revelation. From never driving in a single seater league to winning in Canada, getting stronger and stronger as the season progress and in 2019 earning a role in TG Racing.

''"I've seen George race a couple of times and he has a bright future ahead of him for sure, his attitude is amazing and is always looking to improve. Of course George is still young and will gain a huge amount this year. The fact that he will not only get the advice and tips from [[Jonathan Holmes]] and [[Menno Klont]], but to also race these guys every round, so it gives him a consistent target to aim for and I can't wait to see how he does this year."''
