Mak should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Sponsorship has been difficult for all teams but GB faces real difficulty with sponsors with the lack of terrestrial TV. Now they also face the difficulty of getting sponsorship amidst a recession.

IMO the greatest loss is Oliver Jarvis who is now tied up with DTM. Hopefully he will come back and take the team to the front of the grid again.

I also think in reference to the above about management, GBR is bloody lucky to have the people in place it does now, otherwise this game would have been up long ago.
Agreed Andrew however there are other drivers up to the task< Danny being one however I expect due to bringing money the other drivers used are not the most ideal> Drivers like Ben Clucas who have been trying to get a run are continually ignored>
