Both Koski and Elencevski, although not finishing in the top 3, made themselves available to chat to the worlds media following the Spanish GP.

Steve Elencevski's Barcelona race comments:

"Another dissapointing race result, after qualifying so well.

My race started well with some consistent lap times in the first stint, but we had some problems at my first pitstop, where the rear right wheel was stuck & therefore I lost at least 4 secs. Then I had more dramas at my last pitstop where a car had blocked my pitbox, losing more time. So all in all, I lost a good 10 seconds in the pits. We still have a lot of work to do in regards to setting up the car & getting more out of our tyres for the longer stints & once we can do that, i'm sure we can challenge for top positions on a regular basis. We now move on to Monaco, where I have never driven on GP4, so its going to be a huge challenge for us. If we can come away with a few points, we'll be more than happy."

Kari Koski's race comments:

"Race went pretty good, I didn't make big mistakes, some trouble with the backmarkers and after 1st pitstop I was stuck for several lap behind 3-4 cars as they went faster on the straights but I was much quicker around the corners and we were fighting over positions so they did everything to block me and few times it was very close to hit one of the cars. But eventually i managed to pass them and as I said had error free race which i'm very happy. Race pace was better than Imola 36 seconds to winner isn't that bad. But circuit like Barcelona is and as with such thight race that was good for 8th place which is a shame because some earlier race this year it would have been much better result and for example at Imola good for 2nd place.

Next race Monaco. I'm waiting it with very mixed feelings. It will be awesome to drive there and I kinda like the track, it's so something special and different than normal circuits. In the other hand I haven't done much laps on that track so it will be hard to find the speed. Anything can happen at monaco and I hope we can score good points there as we really need those."
