Booth keen to strengthen upward trend

23 July 2010

John Booth is eager to see Virgin Racing continue its climb up the steep Formula 1 ladder as the second half of the 2010 season moves into full swing. Following a significant car update last time out at Silverstone, more new parts are on the chassis of Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi this weekend.

Hockenheim marks the first German Grand Prix for Virgin although Booth has contested numerous events at the track due to his long-time Formula 3 commitments with Manor Motorsport.

“It’s hard to believe it but this weekend marks the start of part two of our debut season,” said John.

“However, it is reassuring to be entering into that phase with the knowledge that we have a stronger car, which we intend to keep improving all the way to the end of the season.

“The next two races, being back-to-back, present a logistical challenge in terms of moving our trackside infrastructure from Germany to Hungary in the space of three days, but it’s a process we are now pretty well-rehearsed at.

“This race is an important one for Timo and we look forward to seeing him enjoy the much-deserved support of his many fans and supporting him by doing everything possible to ensure we have the best weekend possible.”
