Ireland confident starting from second row

Adam Carroll continued his good form claiming fourth on the grid for both the Sprint and Feature races for Belmayne A1 Team Ireland in the season finale at Brands Hatch, UK tomorrow. 

"Second row for both races is great," said Adam Carroll. "I was happy with fourth for the Sprint but was hoping to go better for the Feature. My last run was going really well but on turn six I didn't quite take the gear properly so I went through the corner in fifth instead of fourth and had quite a big moment, so I was surprised to still be up there. We can have a really good race from there now!" 

Team principal Mark Gallagher commented, "The performance today of the whole team has been nothing short of excellent. Adam has done a terrific job; Dan and he have really shown over the second half of the season that they've really got on top of our performance and to be fourth on the grid for both races is terrific. In particular I'd like to congratulate Team India for their pole position for this final race. In light of the comments by Vijay Mallya and Force India, I don't think there is anything second rate about the performance of Narain Karthikeyan and they have every right to be proud of what they've done today."
