\nTomlinson said:
\n\u201cIt\u2019s great to finally get Chris in the car. He showed great speed and
\nconsistency in pre-season testing and I know he\u2019s raring to go.
\n\u201cBahrain should suit the Ginetta, and as we saw in Shanghai where we ran first
\nand second for over an hour and set the fastest lap, there is a real
\nopportunity for a breakthrough result.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt 8 Hours the race
\nwill be the longest so far for the Ginetta AER package but the reliability so
\nfar has been excellent. A good result is there for the taking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chris Dyson said:
\n\u201cIt\u2019s been a long wait to get back into an LMP1 car. I can\u2019t wait.
\n\u201cThe car was excellent in testing and I have been keeping a close eye on the
\nteam\u2019s progress through the season so far.
\n\u201cBahrain, finishing at night under the floodlights, will be a new experience
\nfor me. I\u2019ll be pushing as hard as I can to deliver on the clear potential of
\nthe Ginetta AER package.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 8 Hours of Bahrain
\ngets underway on 14 December.<\/p>\n
