Very Very Proud

[Geva-Nelson]

We've been trying for 20 years and yesterday we achieved a lifetime ambition. We had a driver on the podium at the Formula Ford Festival.
After 5 days of hard work, or should I say two weeks since we had our final race of the season the weekend prior to the Festival, Dennis Retera took a well deserved third place in the final.

The week had started quite well but as ususal, being a foreign team, we started with a bit of a handicap. We worked hard to close the gap and got within a tenth or two which wasn't too bad.

QUalifying was good and so was the heat but the semi's just made me speechless. We had gambled to take on new tyres in the semi's to try to get onto the first row for the final. We knew we probably couldn't match Tappy (what a deserving winner he is) on pace but we hoped that starting on the front row would give us a headstart in trying to achieve our goal of finishing on the podium.

ON sunday afternoon Retera delivered and although he could not fight the Jamun's he did us proud. Could we have found those two tenths? maybe if we had more time but that's the festival and we're chuffed to bits with this one.

I want to congratulate Jamun, Tappy and Donnely as well as the organisers because this was well and truly a good event, although I didn't enjoy it as much as I used to. Comes with being right up there I suppose.

Whatever happens next year, we'll be there again to compete for those podium positions.

This season has given us 10 wins, 4 seconds 3 thirds, including yesterday's third. 2 titles, and A LOT OF SATISFACTION.

As I said im really proud and happy to be in FF
