@Erik Tveit has gone on holidays early it would seem

Indeed I has, the Lada engine refused to start before exciting the pits. So my engine for the next race is BMW.

Lada? When did we change from Volvo? I think this could explain the poor performance of recent

No, we use Volvo, It's pretty bad. In fact I think it's just the engine from the managers hatchback

BRADLEY VANIAN SCORES THE HAT-TRICK
Chris Jenkins overcomes penalty with strong finish

Aidan Keranen managed to hold of the two charging Honk Caterham's

Bradley Vanian once again took the pole position and ended the weekend with a win to the delight of the Lotus crew. This time he did it in France, and the question now is who will stop him? He's won five of the last six races and are now on a streak of three straight, extending the rookie's winningstreak to eight races.

Hiroshi Awazu was the best of the rest this time, and he had a very good day in his Williams. Apart from the first couple of laps and the lappings he was lonley during most of the time, putting down one fast lap after the other.

James Chant finished 3rd in the Red Bull car and their by made his fifth visit to the podium this season. He too was lonley through most of the race. Aidan Keranen finished 4th in the other Lotus, just ahead of the two Honk drivers Sebastian Levret in 5th and Thomas Hackel who for the fourth time in five races finished 6th.

The battle for 7th was probably the most exciting towards the end as Chris Jenkins in the McLaren, who had to serve a drive-through penalty for speeding during his pit stop, caught up with Sauber driver Omer Said. Jenkins eventually passed Said and got the 7th place, while Said had to settle for 8th.

Alexander MacDonald and Danny Asbury rounded of the top 10, and Erik Tveit got his first DNF of the season as he had a realy poor start which lost him alot of spots, and eventually got him caught up in a crash with Scott Malcolm and Zeynel Babacan on lap 3.

Vanian extends his championship lead to 66 points. Awazu jumps to 3rd and is just 1 point ahead of MacDonald. Hackel goes to 5th and Tveit falls down to 7th behind the mentioned three and Asbury who drops one spot to 6th. Further down Levret goes past Duivelaar for 12th.

What's HOT!
Hiroshi Awazu - got his fourth straight top 10 finish and climbed three positions in the standings.

What's NOT!
Driver awareness - everyone, except Vanian, was slow of the line at the start of the French Grand Prix.

Next we are going back to the north of Europe for the 13th round of the 16th Forum Racing season. It's Anderstorp in Sweden who are hosting, and we are expecting someone to stop the british freight train.
