Michel Jourdain


"We need to make improvements on the Gigante car so that we can run a consistent race tomorrow.  There
are not too many places to pass on this course.  The back straight is one possibility, but it's still very difficult.
Turn 3 has normally been a place for incidents at the start of the race.  Hopefully, we can run a steady race
and take advantage of the opportunities that come our way."



Jeremy Dale, Team President


"It was a tough day for Michel.  The Gigante car was quite good in qualifying yesterday and they've gone down
a path with the car that Michel is not happy with.  They've got to regroup to get the car back to where he's
more comfortable.  Michel put in a big effort today in terms of driving the car to post the speed that he did.  He
needs something a bit more drivable and I'm sure they'll get back there."
