Banbury racer Will Bratt brought the curtain down on a solid maiden campaign in FIA Formula One World Championship support category GP2 Asia Series at Bahrain International Circuit today with a competitive drive to 16th place during the final outing of the season.

Bratt said: “It’s been a fantastic experience competing in GP2 for the first time during the Asia Series and I’ve certainly learned a lot.

"It was a big step-up for us, especially considering I’ve only been racing internationally for a couple of years, but I think we’ve done a good job and I’ve given a good account of myself without much at all in the way of testing.

“I do want to express my thanks to Party Poker Racing and Scuderia Coloni for putting this prize drive in place for the Euroseries 3000 Champion, it’s been a great opportunity to compete in GP2 Asia and I’ve certainly enjoyed the experience.”

While the 2009/2010 GP2 Asia Series has reached its conclusion, the hard work continues for the 21-year-old Oxford University graduate as he aims to secure a competitive drive for the main 2010 motorsport season.
