GP-O both in the Challenge and Sprint competitions. Co-Owner and driver Gavin Thomas stated " We are very pleased to be involved in such a prestigious series. The abilities of our drivers will be stretched to the limit, but that's what you want as a driver is to be pushed." On the subject of the second seat Thomas was happy to confirm the signing of a pre-contract agreement with his co-owner and good friend Wayne Mullins.One thing is for sure " Wayne has been competing against me for as long as I can remember and this series was an opportunity for us to work together. I personally cannot wait to see the outcome, as when he (Mullins) and I get near a race track, the gloves literally come off and our friendship is set aside"! One thing is for sure, Red 5 Racing is not here to make up the numbers, to quote the affable Welshman Thomas," We're here to make some waves and to challenge for championship points, anything less would be disappointing!" Only time will tell whether R5R can mount a serious championship challenge.
Gavin Thomas (2010-07-22 03:28:29): "Hahahaha! Stephen you know us too well!! " flat_steve (2010-07-21 18:17:29): "Seeing the way these two have been trying to one-up each other last season I give it three races before the fireworks start. Having two ultracompetitive people driving for the same team looks great on paper but R5R will soon find out F1 drivers are selfish animals and will want to win for themselves first, the team won't even figure.
