Van Gisbergen guided the TKR Ford to 17th overall, scoring
championship points from race one and race three and missing out by one
spot in race two.
TKR finished race one in 15th positon after
starting 23rd to gain valuable championship points, was 16th in race
two and finished 13th in the final race at the Bahrain International
Circuit overnight.
\"I really enjoyed this weekend and we are starting to make some real headway as a team,\" Van Gisbergen said.
\"We
could have even been a little better in race two if the Vodafone car
had not spun in front of me. I had to avoid it and dropped back five
places in doing so.
\"And again in the third race we finished
13th but we dropped five seconds in the pits when a wheel nut stuck
during our compulsary pit stop. I came out behind a bunch of cars and
think I could have been into the top 10 otherwise,\" Van Gisbergen said.
Bahrain was the best round for Van Gisbergen and Team Kiwi
Racing so far this season, finishing the weekend in a share of 15th
position overall.
