The good ol' boy's are back on tracksAfter an horrendous season last year the two unluckiest guys of the league decided to team up together. With almost a century by adding their respective age they will be the oldest drivers team of the league. Let's go for an interview with the co-owners of the new Blackcat Racing.First of all, for which reason did you decide to build a team together ?Tim Roedl :The first thought when I met Eric the first time was that this guy seems to be as smart as I am (bigsmile). Serious, that left a strong impact on our further comunications which led immediatly to an unspoken teamwork in technical and social questions. A cooperation as teamowners was just a logic step.
Eric Moinet : We had the same bad luck, we are from the same generation, it appears that we also have the same centers of interest, so at a moment in the season it became obvious that we should have to be in the same team.
Where do Blackcat come from ?TR : First from the small fish. Every cat needs it. That sounds simple and yes, you are right.
EM : Blackcat is a well known company providing bad luck to everyone seeking for it. Seeing our lack of luck last season they ask us to endorse their brand. And when we came to the decision to team up, they gave us all the facilities to bring the cars and the people to make it run.
Where do Blackcat go?EM : I hope it won't go to the kitty litter too often during the races.
TR : Blackcat will rise and shine as bright as a team can above the racing sky. We should not forget the great possibilities of our factory in Corsica and our marvellous test-track which is a real challenge for racecars nowadays. So, we expect surprizes!
What are your goals for the next season ?EM : That will be a learning season. At least we expect to finish some races. That will be at the same time the debut season of our engine provider Realnut (sorry, no typo here). They have build up a nice W12 turbocharged hybrid engine. Hopefully we will have some interesting results with it.
TR : To be honest, leaving the last position as team and driver. What else can it be in my case? What a silly question! Shorten it up buddy, I have a meeting...
So there was the end of the interview. Blackcat Racing will start its racing career at Zeltweg for the first race of GPGSL-3 S8. Let's just wish them good luck. Or, maybe I should say, nothing but bad luck.
