New challenge awaits Copeman Newly appointed VSM race driver Chris Copeman was interviewed briefly ahead of qualifying for round 12 of the GPGSL, "I can't wait to get going now. Having watched free practice we got some good data from the testers and will use this time to try and nail the setup." When questioned about whether he was nervous about his debut performance Copeman seeby CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4

Copeman targetting points on first outing Speaking ahead of his race debut for VanSmirren motorsports, former SCR test driver Chris Copeman was keen to make his intentions as a race driver known. "As I said before, this moves presents a great opportunity for me, and I don't want to waste it. I think with the setup here at VanSmirren there is the potential to do great things, I wouldby CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
I think we can pretty much already right this year off, I have to say I was expecting a bit moreby CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
Can't wait for the next race! Well done to John for getting the other VSM race seat, hopefully we can get some points.by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
Yeah I think you are right, in that case double yay! A taste of what it is like to be a race driver before becoming a team boss. Fingers crossed. Of course I shall await official confirmation from the GPGSL before doing anything more on the Christel VXR front.by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4

If this came about could the test series still not be run with a depleted field? I suppose as long as its not too depleted it would still be worth it. Tester points don't count for a team so there would be no unfair advantage to whether your team had two or not.by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
"All this could result in some race drivers being removed from the main series by their team bosses and replaced by test drivers. This may result in the test series being suspended, but we are sure you will agree that the viability of the main series is far more important." I do understand this completely and I am glad action has been taken. I also understand that there is very littlby CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
over all a great weekend for SCR, top of the constructors too...well done race drivers!by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4

Copeman Ecstatic after Maiden Race Victory Chris Copeman was in bouyant mood in the GPGNC paddock today as he led the field home at Laguna Seca. "We knew we had a fast car in the previous rounds and we have had a strong start to the championship, this takes things up a notch and really puts us in the hunt. I'm thrilled to have won in only the third round of the championship and hopefby CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
+1 on the coverage front I really enjoyed it.by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
Oh my life that was close, and really really pulsating too! Third is brilliant for the race tomorrow. Such a shame to miss out on pole though, especially having posted an identical time. Who knows what might have happened if I hadn't been held up.by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
Thats a good result, 3rd place puts me nicely back in the hunt points wise and hopefully sets the race drivers up for a good weekend. Awesome!by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
Can'r wait for qualifying coverage hopefully America did well in the 'home' race.by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
I didn't realise I hadn't posted for that long either, my apologies. I do think a shake up is needed though. There are people with race seats that clearly can't be bothered and testers who make the effort most days. I think somehow, although how I'm not sure, we need to avoid people posting just for the sake of it.by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4

Well that didnt go too badly after a poor qualifying. Do I get extra points for the fastest lap or not?by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
I can't say Im thrilled with our first performance but we will get there.by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
Team America still upbeat after Shaky Start After qualifying for the first round of the inaugural GPGNC America driver Chris Copeman had this to say, "17th isnt a great start but we seem to have better race pace and should be able to push for points in the race."by CaptinFranko - Grand Prix 4
