Creation look forward to good Laguna ALMS race |
|
|
Ok, we know this news is a little late but even Web Masters need to take a holiday once in a while, sorry to all for the late posting. Creation’s CA07-Judd made its first appearance at the 2.238 mile Laguna Seca circuit only yesterday, but the team have already made significant strides forward in its development and set up for this notoriously challenging track. While Nicolas Minassian qualified last year’s Creation CA06/H on the front row of the grid, that level of performance was out of the team’s reach for 2007. Read the full Qualifying Report here. |
