Driver Comments

"Going into the weekend, I am feeling happy with the car setup. I believe we have found a setup that will make us somewhat competitive while still allowing us to take care of the rear tires. The major challenge this weekend will be dealing with traffic. In preparation, I have been driving around the M25 in the morning rush hour and walking up and down escalators in the opposite direction to get my mind ready for the chaos we are about to experience. Good luck to everyone, and a huge thank you to our engineering team for providing us with the best possible chance for success this weekend. Good luck, have fun!" Liam P Doyle Liam P Doyle
"I enjoy Virginia International Raceway (VIR). It's an exciting track with lots of high-speed corners that require precision. It's a track that suits my driving style, so I'm eager to start this round. Traffic management will be crucial due to the significant speed difference between each class. Jason and I need to maintain a clean race and be strong on pace to improve our chances. However, with a track like this that doesn't favor multiclass racing much, anything can happen!" Lochlan Bearman Lochlan Bearman
"I'm genuinely scared. The traffic in FP2 was an absolute mess, and it feels like we might as well just roll some dice to decide where everyone finishes. That's not at all how we want to head into the penultimate round of a championship. We'd much prefer to win based on performance rather than luck." Jason Dilworth Jason Dilworth
"I'm excited for this race as it's my first time racing at VIR. Learning the track has been enjoyable, but dealing with the AI on the track has been a challenge. I still have my Free Practice session to come, so it's uncertain how much traffic I'll encounter. Based on others' experiences, it seems to be quite stressful. However, I typically perform well and navigate traffic effectively, so I'll rely on those skills. I'm curious to see if the track's run-off areas will reduce the impact of any contact that could result in safety cars. Regardless, I'll aim to maximize my performance and adapt to whatever happens. Let's do this!" Ryan Scott Hamilton Ryan Scott Hamilton
