Jarvis back for Britain

Oliver Jarvis will return to competitive action for A1 Team GBR next weekend in Durban, as the team heads to South Africa determined to secure some strong results to improve its championship position in what is turning out to be the most highly competitive season of A1GP yet. 

"I'm delighted to be back in the British car and I'm especially looking forward to the Durban event," said Jarvis. "I had the opportunity to do the rookie session in Durban last year and it's a fantastic street track in a beautiful setting, so I'm really looking forward to racing there this year. Hopefully we can continue on from Robbie's podium in Australia and get more podium finishes in order to keep Britain in the championship fight."

Heading into round seven, Team GBR is currently sixth in the title race with 58 points. Tied at the top are Teams New Zealand and France on 96 points, with Switzerland three points adrift. South Africa and Germany are fourth and fifth with 79 and 77 points respectively. With a maximum of 32 points available on race day and on a track such as Durban, with its history of a high rate of attrition, Team GBR will be aiming to score high next weekend. 

Katie Clements, Team Principal commented, "Following Robbie's podium in Australia and our previous results in Durban, we are very confident ahead of next weekend and looking forward to scoring some good points. Our aim is to finish on the podium and move closer to the teams ahead of us in the championship. We are happy to welcome back Oliver and are sure he is ready for the challenges of the tricky nature of this event."
