Together with more aggressive aerodynamics and revised suspension, the Norfolk-based team seems confident that the improved package will be good enough to let drivers Heikki Kovalainen and Jarno Trulli score some points in 2011.



Mike Gascoyne, Chief Technical Officer, said: ‘I think that basically this car looks like a front-running car in every area. We said very clearly that we want to start challenging the established teams and I think that's very achievable.’ Fighting talk indeed.

Eleven neutralization slowed the peloton during the race demo All-Star NASCAR Toyota Cup in three phases each of 100 laps.

Pastrana has lost several seats in the first segment. "It's not easy. I drove the car like a rally car or a bike by braking much more than necessary, "he said.

Fortunately, the second segment has a much better place and the pilot managed to place in the top-10.

Then, after a final three red flags, Pastrana was able to make the teeth against the holder of the pole position as he battled for sixth place, three wide, with only 11 laps to go.

"With any luck, this will be the beginning of a great adventure," he said.

Jason Bowles won the event in a Toyota before the 2010 champion of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series DJ Kennington, Chevrolet and driver Jonathan Gomez. Quebecer Andrew Ranger finished 22nd.
