The final race of the season saw another victory for Joe Consiglio, but the biggest celebration was in the Red Archer garage, with the team clinching their maiden Constructors' Title. Tonigh, Adam Smith is joined by race winner Joe Consiglio (MLT, Nordsjoen Racing), runner-up David Jundt (SWI, Red Archer VRT) and third placed Lee Morris (ENG, Draig Racing).


Q. Joe, final win of the season and it looked like it went perfect out there, can you describe the feeling out there tonight?


JC. Yeah, everything went smoothly tonight. I enjoy Singapore very much and we had pace in hand, I never really needed to push. After the first few laps it was a case of keeping my concentration and not hitting any backmarkers. To win here is a really nice way to finish a great year.


Q. Early on in the season, there were rumours of you taking an early season retirement, can you outline anything you've learnt this season?


JC. I've learnt lots of things, not only technically as a driver but as a person. It's easy to give up when things are going badly, it takes character to come back fighting. I admire Lee's determination in latter part of this season because it would have been easy for him to quit after Spa. He kept going and fighting till the very end, I'm certain his time will come soon.


Q. Finally, is a well deserved break in order or are you already looking ahead to the 2012 campaign?


JC. I can't really comment on next year yet but a bit of rest would be nice! It's been a long hard season and I've attended every single race so I'll probably just chill for the next few weeks. Only after then will I start thinking about next season. Anyway I'm looking forward to celebrating this Saturday with Will and everyone else at Oulton Park, should be good fun!


Q. Thanks Joe, great racing throughout the season and we look forward to seeing you next week in a tintop.
