13.3.2013, another fine date for a news item, but not because of it this time, either. We're here to review our somewhat unlucky GP in the rainy Malaysia.
Qualifying: We were really struggling on the qualifying trying to get a good lap. We ended up just in the TOP 20, me on 17th and William Neron on 19th.

Race 1: For me, the race ended rather quickly, as I got involved in the huge finish line pile-up at the start. William was involved too, but luckily escaped, although without a front wing. He managed to struggle 18th to the finishing line.

Race 2: Having retired from the first race, I started way back from the background, somewhere below 30th. I had a very good start, rised above 20th, but soon made mistakes and had to pit, as I lost the rear wing. After the pit stop I was struggling in the wet as I had slicks on and constantly slipped off the racing line. I then went to the pits again for wets, already had lost lots of positions, and then retired due to technical difficulties. William did not start to the race, as he had crashed on the warm up, having technical difficulties as well.

Overall, very poor results, only to blame the technical difficulties and the conditions. Still no points, but everything can change.

On to other news then: we've finally released our websites, available here.Then, we would also like to welcome a new driver in our team: Ghovand Keanie! He raced for SimInk Motorsports in Malaysia, but after a brief discussion we had after the race, he decided to join our team, due to personal reasons.

We really hope this could turn the tables and gain lots of points starting from Austria.
