Ireland hopeful of Malaysian points

Adam Carroll will start 13th and 7th for Belmayne A1 Team Ireland in round three of the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport at the Sepang International Circuit tomorrow. After difficult practice sessions the team made further changes ahead of qualifying which made a big difference to the handling of the car. 

Adam Carroll commented, "We're still playing catch up but we're finding our way. I lost the rear end under braking into Turn 14 on my first run on new tyres but I'm much happier with our Feature Race qualifying position. Considering the problems we've had it was a pretty good lap. I'll be pushing as hard as I can tomorrow and hopefully we can come away with a good result." 

Race engineer Dan Walmsley added, "It was a largely successful session apart from our Sprint race qualifying position. We were nowhere coming into qualifying but we made some changes and it's just a shame we only had four flying laps to make it work. Adam put in an absolutely fantastic drive to get P7 for the Feature Race and there's definitely more to come from him. We also had a problem with one of the wishbones during the session and the team worked fantastically in minutes to get the car out for the final session."
