Team Principal Bill O’Brien stated: “We have the top cars in the series (AFR 2015 first,
second, third and fifth place cars all belong to BAR), and we are working hard on their
condition and setup. We are training some top drivers. We intend to keep winning races
in 2016. We have recently signed Tasmanian star Josh Burdon for 2016 and will continue
adding winning drivers…”

for Formula Renault 2.0 on GITI tires being broken by over one full second during our
