| TOCAForums Clarke Cosworth |
| Thursday 22nd July 2004 Silverstone was packed to the brim today as Alex Clarke and team-mate Juha Tanskanen wowed the crowd as they unveiled the new CC003. After a promising year in the category last year, Alex Clarke's team forays into its third year in the GP3 league. A sponsorship change and a new second driver are the main differences with the car looking radically different to previous efforts. Alex Clarke said "We are delighted to get a driver with the quality that Juha has. After losing Philip a few weeks ago, we were worried about the second car, but Juha can put a difficult car high up the grid, very much where it doesn't belong. However, we hope he doesn't have to do that!" Clarke also added wins were vital this year for the team to survive without major changes. |
