Once again, apologies for not having written much in the past couple of months - there's no excuse for it, even though the Champ Car World Series has been in full swing.
It's been a bit of a torrid time unfortunately, especially as the season started out pretty good with a sixth place at Vegas. We thought that that was the way it was going to go for the rest of the year but, unfortunately, we've had lots of issues that the team has tried really hard to solve. Everyone's confidence is low at the moment, but we just need a couple of good results to bring us out of that. Hopefully, the European races will be a turning point for us and we can aim to get back up there, because we really need it.
The car's reliability hasn't been so much of an issue, but the team is massively under-resourced and we've just been having issues. We've had a problem now for the last four or five races that we just haven't been able to find, so we bought another car - that's the royal 'we' - and, if needs be, we were going to put that together so that we could back-to-back it with my current car.
The third car is a spare for both Bruno and myself although, obviously, we believed that there was a problem with my car, so we thought that it could be set up primarily as my car and see if that was the answer. I suggested that the team put Bruno in the car because, with my inexperience, I can't pinpoint what the problem is. To me, it felt like we had a cracked tub or something like that, especially in Road America.
