That is without a doubt the worst result I've ever had, but my drivers....now we're talking.

[www.gp4central.com] <----GP4 CentralWhatever setup SCR gave me, it obviously worked to perfection. Without a boost, I wasn't even aiming for the fastest time, so it came as a surprise to me. I'll let Gilson use my setup for his car and hopefully it'll be enough for him to score a good starting position for the race. My job is done now, so time to sit back and relax in the SCR garage.
See, all good at Demon Racing. No issues within the team, with all working as one to give the team a great result.
As for the off track contract stuff, team boss and drivers are going to have a pow wow to sort out what we are doing going ahead for the rest of this season. We will make a formal announcement early next week.

Hard to take much from practice.
Interested to hear what other team owners have to say on the matter, but I really have no intention of relinquishing the loan deals I have.
Rod, Carlos and I have a deal in place that works perfectly.

Great run for Marcus, but seems Rico got bitten by Pastor Maldonado and thinks the team is playing with his setup 
We actually do
As for my deal, well, I made it in the short gap between ART's shutdown and ONE's takeover. Since I really didn't know if Rod would want to go on with the lineup, or he was going to promote Jake or bring another guy or whatever, I searched for a deal. Christel offered me a testdrive while MPR offered this deal. And you can tell even today it's quite tempting. While I work on my perf on ONE and benefit them, I can be called to MPR, a team with superb perf, should Ed or Charrel step aside. It's kind of the deal Daniel Ricciardo had at HRT. So if I'm called to Snake, I see no problem in going. However, as per the rules, all parties must agree. And if I'm recalled from ONE, Rodrigo would have to look for another driver, since neither him nor Rico can step in. It'd be the same problem again.
I say the easiest solution is to add an exception to the rulebook where if a driver incurs a 2nd penalty and must be replaced, and there is no one available, then the team owner is allowed to race with prior consent of the Governing Body.
Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

The deal was agreed to avoid a scenario whereby I was forced to rely on another team's test driver, as was the case a few season ago when Matt and Monil both dropped out of the series.
If Ed or Charrel were to just disappear or up and leave to set up their own team I'd have a backup in place, in Carlos. I cannot just recall him whenever I like, the discretion lies with Rod. It has worked very well over the last two seasons.
The chance itself came from the murky ground following the withdrawal of ART, whereby Carlos effectively became a free agent, so I jumped in.

It's cool that so many of you step up. But most of all, Maikel will have to make the choice and sort things out with the respective team owners. However, given how unlucky Snake was with the drivers this year, I'm sure one or the other team owner will show solidarity and free one of their test drivers. It can't be that hard.

Carlos and Dan, welll at this moment my intention is continue with One Racing. I told for GPGSL members few weeks ago.
But I understood that new plans can appear. So, I'm only waiting your decisions. Even if someone wants to build a team and put me in it, we can talk!

Not a fantastic placing, but acceptable
Thx Carlos... it was great fun at BRNO circuit, love that track.
what place would I have taken... if I still had some driver boosts, that I've could have used... now it was racing with only team boost and it paid off real fine.
Thx Boss for upgrading the car for this round. 6th place is not bad at all !!
