Team Aircool's last minute dash

[Marc W]

I just thought I'd post about Team Aircool's dash to get Adam's car ready for Brands. It'll be really impressive to see his car take to the track for first Practice with the preparations only having been finished the day before. I guess it helps that GR Asia already have several years of experience with Seat's but it'll still be an impressive acheivement. Hopefully they can get a good result to make it all worthwhile!

[GioFan]

yeah this is good news i didnt think he would actually be there, but if the car has the same sort of livery as last year it will look great

[Ratenacir]

I blame the French for the last minute panic ......

[GioFan]

yeah thats a pretty silly law they have about not being allowed to drive your lorrie on Easter Weekend

[turk06]

poor french, they cant help having silly laws. to be honest though all of the people enforcing these laws were probably on holiday on the bank holiday anyway, typical huh?

[Editor1]

I believe the law has been in place for some years now - not just Easter but HGVs are banned from moving on highways on Sundays generally.

lets just hope they get the car back to the U.k and to Brands and make it out on track! Nothing like last minute! xxxxxxxxxx

[turk06]

what a strange law. that surely cant do very much for trading in france, bet you all of the truckies love it though.
anyone else fancy a look over the quiz page, try mine no one has got full marks yet.
:p

[VR6Steve]

on the basis they were not expecting to be at Brands, this is really good news. Sounds like a late night or 2 coming up for the team.

Fingers crossed. ;)

In france and quite a few of the western european countries no trading happens on a sunday so it has no effect on it really. Wish they would bring the law in over here.

Good luck to them I can see a few all nighters for them this weekend!

Me too as a Trucker myself I'd welcome that.

The plan was always to be at Brands, but it wasn't expected to be quite this tight!

Seems very sensible to me. Now we could just have a similar law to ban caravans from the roads on Bank Holidays.

haha thats a good one although i shouldnt think it would impress caravanists very much.

[Eunos]

Another Motor on the track is always Welcome.

Mr Jones could very well be a Dark Horse this year as far as the championship goes.

[mikegoodridge]

Guys my son works for GR Asia ,and let me tell you if anyone can pull off this miracle Paul and his crew can.

[Pushy Plato Fan]

Can't wait to see another Leon on the grid!

yes.....things you could do if you were made prime minister!!!!!!!- mine would be endless.

[jackrae]

As mikegoodridge said, gr asia will easily pull it off. Just hope Adam has a better weekend than he did in the Gt's last weekend!

[TUMBLEWEED16]

be good to see another car on the grid

good luck on getting it finished

[gregm]

I hope they have a good weekend to make worthwhile

[turk06]

GRRRRRR:mad: :mad: :mad: okay ban the ones that dont pull over or as I have in the back window of my van, it isnt me holding you up it is the old dear in the honda jazz/nissan micra:D :D :D

anyway back to topic. good luck to all the GR lads, hope they make it and Adam does the business on the track. have a dram on me

[VkmSpouge]

Hopefully Jones will enjoy his first weekend in the Léon.

[turk06]

i am just really annoyed cos i was going up sutton bank the other day behind a caravan, (you may of heard of sutton bank, its a bit steep.) i am sure caravans are prohibited but that didnt stop the one in front of me. i had to use first gear all the way up. i reckon that jones may have a good year and turn a few nore heads this year. he may even be up there in the final points standings. you just never know.

[Marc W]

The car has arrived safely at Brands Hatch:)

Now for a day of decal applying to the car :D

[turk06]

someones gonna be tired in the morning.

[Tomabigbtccfan]

How many races is Adam expecting to enter this year? Cos it was a shame he didn't do all of the rounds last year cos he was pushing the works teams all the way.

[Editor1]

He's entered for the full season - all ten rounds.

[Tomabigbtccfan]

Great news he will be one to watch this season. Thanks for letting me know Ed1.

[Editor1]

You can see how much the car is coming on in the story on the homepage. A great job by everyone in the team.

Ed1

[BTCCROCKS]

Indeed, a great job from the guys. A big well done to them all

[Racing_Fan]

Agreed; lets hope he can get 3 good results as a reward for all the hard work :)

[Marc W]

GR Asia aren't entered in the WTCC this season, which was the reason Adam couldn't do all the rounds last year so he's free to to the entire championship.:)

[mikegoodridge]

Now the back room staff have done their bit , its over to you now Adam, lets hope we can get a few flyin laps in today...... guess we'll have some idea in an hour or so , thank god ( and the Btcc) for live timings !!!!

[mark_l]

Good luck to Adam,Graham,Paul and the team :)
