DE PASQUALE QUOTE

“We need to put our best foot forward and starting off on the right, so hopefully we can keep that going forward and have a battle under lights and put on a good show and get back into racing.” 

DAVISON QUOTE

“Unfortunately, from our side we had issues with the steering, so we were in and out of the garage trying to fix it, but we weren’t able to get any decent running. We think we’ve found what the problem is now.  We will see how we go tomorrow, I am confident we will be much better tomorrow.”
