JasonBargwanna: Its great to be a professional race car driver and its a goal I always wanted to achieve, winning at this level is tough and that is what you need to set your mind on.
JasonBargwanna: The race is fantastic, the circuit is very challenging and great to drive on, and although the results haven't been great for me over the last 2 years Ill be back always.....
JasonBargwanna: We have now found the speed and I believe the rest of the season will be back at the front were we should be, I believe the last of pace was due to being caught with our pants down and didn't work hard enough, but hopefully we have changed that now.
