best developing enjoy moving people
I enjoy what I do - developing cars, moving forwards and getting the best out of them. And yes, a lot of people would like to do what I do.
aims best
The team's aims are do to the best we can basically.
effort forward hard moving putting results trying
The team is very enthusiastic - everyone is trying hard to do their best, and everyone is putting a lot of effort in to moving forward and getting the right results and it's a very good, close-knit team.
I would like to become champion, but I'm realistic about it.
It is expensive to start from scratch though.
aspects full looking meets technical ways
We take full responsibility, but we are always looking at ways that the technical aspects of the meets could flow.
although far good
From where started, I think it is too far down to try and win a championship at the end of the season, although we had a very good first race at Mondello and scored some good points.
setting
I don't think it's so much of a disadvantage setting up from scratch.
I'd like to see us improving on what we had last year.
projects workshop
We've had to set a workshop up; we've had to equip the workshop and everything else. But all that equipment is there now and whatever projects they want to use it for in the future.
class gamblers lottery needs oregon people problem succeed
Not everyone in Oregon gambles. But to succeed a lottery needs a class of people who are problem gamblers and pathological gamblers.
everybody hard technical within work
It will be hard work. It's always hard work, and hard work from everybody within the team - technical director, mechanics, drivers, engineers - everyone in the team.
although believe convinced driver hand
It will be a Vauxhall driver - I'm convinced of that. I believe they still have the upper hand with their car, although they say they don't.
closely effort goes good improve people putting season sure though works
It's a good team though that works very closely and very well together, and all those people putting that effort in, then I'm sure we will improve dramatically from where we are now as the season goes on.
