DPR reflective after race two
22 June 2008Diego Nunes and Michael Herck returned to the Magny Cours track in France today, racing with David Price Racing (DPR) in the second of the two GP2 races supporting the French Grand Prix. Mixed weather shaped the race, but it was ultimately technical problems that forced Nunes to retire. Herck drove to 15th place, while still recovering from his wrist injury, which had put him out of the Series until this weekend.
Team boss David Price summed up the race, and the weekend, saying, "We started on wet tyres as the track seemed just too damp and slippery for drys, as quite a few drivers showed. However a few of them managed to cope with the conditions on the slicks and they ultimately won through. We might have made the wrong tyre choice, but in the end it didn't matter which tyre we were on with Diego as we were struck with another technical problem. When these things happen it's tough, but we're a strong team and will bounce back for Silverstone."
"Michael ran well today and took his first GP2 chequered flag, so he gained experience and at this stage it is track time and racing that he needs to develop in the Series," he added. "While other drivers fell off the road he persevered and reached the finish, and now we can build on this start as we progress into the season."
