Shaun Watson Smith and Fariqe Hairuman are both eagerly awaiting the chance to get out on the Indy circuit at Brands with their nimble PETRONAS-backed Impian racers. The first outing for the team at Thruxton showed great potential with little reward; next weekend, the team hope to have more to show for their efforts.

David Wong, Team Principal said: "We had a good first outing at Thruxton; I am very pleased with Fariqe and Shaun's progress. I believe we can mount a serious challenge for podiums this year."

Fariqe Hairuman said: "I enjoyed the Indy circuit when I tested there at the end of last season. I'm looking forward to getting out on the track in the new car."

Shaun Watson Smith said: "I think we can be pretty optimistic for Brands - the new car felt just great at Thruxton and the team has some good things up its sleeve going forward. It's a very competitive series with a great format that mixes everybody up with the reverse grid. The faster guys will always get to the front which makes for lots of overtaking and great racing - I really think we can be up there."
