SWISS LOOK STRONG BUT AUSTRALIA SHOW PROMISE
An encouraging result for Team Australia on day one of the Taupo New Zealand round of the A1GP series with John Martin setting the third fastest time in Friday afternoon's first practice session. In hot and dry conditions Martin moved into third place behind pace setter Neel Jarni and Lebanon's Daniel Morad. Jarni overcame a health scare to set the fastest time of the day after his teammate Alexandre Imperatori started the day as the quickest rookie. Jarni was rushed to hospital last week with suspected meningitis, which ruined his training regime and left him feeling drained. He arrived in Taupo several days later than normal after getting the all-clear from doctors to race. Jarni said the New Zealand Summer weather had improved his health and he remained confident that he would be fine to race over the weekend., “... it looks as though the warm weather is helping me as we don’t have minus degrees like at home. I am feeling better every day and had no issues with driving today so I am very positive.” he said. The very fact that the race is happening will be a big relief for organisers after rumours spread earlier this month that the series may wind up.
