Welsh Trio of Jann, Matt & Seb set for GP3 finale in the Gulf

Matt Parry - plenty of points

The final two races in the 2015 GP3 Series starts on Friday, 20th November when the penultimate event of the championship takes place at the fabulous Sakhir International Circuit in Bahrain which is running back-to-back, with a visit to Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi following just seven days later.

Last time out in Sochi Jann Mardenborough bounced back after a brief dip into GP2 , to back up a 5^th place in race with another podium visit in race 2 , scoring 20 points which meant he  was able to leap-frog fellow Welshman Matt Parry,  who scored some welcome points to with a 7^th place in race 1. There are only 3 points between Matt & Jann.

Meanwhile Seb Morris has been working hard and narrowly missed out on adding to his score,  finishing an agonisingly place or 2 from scoring more points on more than one occasion. However he was clearly the fastest of the Status teams 3 entries throughout the weekend, last time out in Russia, and with no testing permitted before the regular pre-event practice session, Seb is relishing the opportunity to compete on a truly level playing field for the first time this year.

“It’s been a trying year, a disappointing year really – we could have had a few more points finishes but things just haven’t worked out for us”, he commented, “I’m still pushing forward though and it’d be nice to get into the top eight in the first Bahrain race and try and get onto the front of the reverse grid for race two. I’m really looking forward to visiting Bahrain, it’s going to be the first track this year where nobody else will have the advantage of having run there before. There’s no testing either, so that should work in our favour as we’ll start on a level playing field for the first time really. We were fast out of the box during the last round at Sochi, so hopefully we can do the same again and build from there.”

Seb stepped up into GP3, after a string of wins and top three championship finishes said ‘The aim is to definitely end the season on a bit of a high and I’m confident we can.”

Practice for the Bahrain event will take place at 06.35 (UK time) on Thursday, 19th November, with qualifying following at 09.40 (UK time). Race one of the weekend is scheduled to start at 10.20 (UK time) on Friday, 20th November, with race two taking place on Saturday, 21st November, at 06.00 (UK time). Qualifying and both contests will, as ever, be screened live on the Sky Sports F1 channel.
