Superb weekend completed with his 2nd at the Super Final, behind Bourdais.

I got the impression from what Bourdais said when interviewed that they made quite a few changes over the three days and finally started to get things right on Sunday - which might explain why they both improved.

I also heard/read somewhere that the chassis had been swapped around a bit - the suggestion being that this was between teams rather than within the teams. Might have misunderstood the implications of that of course.

At Donington I could see that some cars seemed to have very smooth gear changes and others not at all smooth. This was especially noticable out of slow corners - Foggy esses for example - where the first up change on some cars was really jerking the driver's head and on other cars they were completely smooth. I doubt this was a driver thing, but you never know.

As I recall the Sevilla car went out of the second race at Donington with battery failure which was a bit puzzling. Club racing on a tight budget you might expect that but not really something you would expect in something like Superleague.

Obviously running for three days in the sun has helped the team somewhat.

Alvaro Parente's confidence must be sky high - congrats .... Good to see Bourdais running up the front again!

you won't regret seeing (and hearing ) it, just avoid any preconceived ideas of how qualifying and races should happen. if you're a motorsport purist... well, you probably won't enjoy it
