|
|
After the superb showing at Monza JWA are very pleased to announce that Joel Camathias will join the JWA driver line up for the balance of the LMS season – Spa in Belgium, Silverstone and Interlagos, Brazil. Joel is the reigning 2006 LMS GT2 champion and will certainly strengthen the driver line up. His experience and desire to do well will bring dividends. Joel Camathias also brings with him a Pirelli development tyre deal putting JWA alongside the works GT2 Porsche of Marc Lieb and Xavier Pompidou. JWA Team principal James Watt commented
“After our great run in Monza we are virtually guaranteed championship points at each event and with the benefit of Pirelli tyres if the luck breaks our way then podium places are a real possibility”.

Monza Test – you too if you wish
|
The new association with Pirelli brings an instant benefit with JWA being invited to test at Monza immediately prior to the LMS Nurburgring 1000kms at the end of June. The two day tyre test on 25th and 26th June will allow all the drivers and team to get acquainted with the new Pirelli product. We will also be running last years 996 RSR for a couple of drivers with a view to drives later in the season and/or next year. So if you have the desire and the requisite budget then get in touch and you too could be hammering around the history laden Monza Autodrome on the outskirts of Milan.
