A1GP » Kerr: It's gutting, but we will be back.

Monday, 5th May 2008

So near yet so far for the second year in succession for home hero at Brands Hatch in A1GP finale.

Franck Montagny failing to better fifth position for series one title-winners France at least saw Britain overtake les bleus for third spot – for the third consecutive year – but Kerr admitted afterwards that was only a very small consolation.

“It's gutting, it really is,” the 28-year-old acknowledged, still managing to maintain the smile on his face, “but we live to fight another day. I wanted to go for the win, but of course we had to consolidate third place [in the standings'] as well.

“It was almost there, but it was still a fantastic day at Brands Hatch to have a win in the sprint race and lead the feature race. It was a great result to end the year on, and we've just got to focus now and re-group for next year. I'm sure the guys are going to be just as eager as I am to get going again and get a fantastic result in the first race.”

As to whether Kerr himself will be a part of that first race, he refused to commit, and in the meantime it looks likely that he will be continuing to compete for Creation in the Le Mans Series over the summer months – even if he confessed that his heart would always remain in single-seaters.

“Let's wait and see,” he insisted of his A1GP future. “We've got lots of discussions ahead of us, so we'll see what happens from here.

“I've been doing some sportscar racing, and that looks like it will carry on for the rest of the year. I've been really enjoying it and it's been good experience, but of course I still love racing single-seaters.”
