Paris was crazy with the first real wet race in the series and lots of things were out of our control. We set the fastest lap in FP2, and second fastest in the race – ahead of the eventual race winner. We learnt a lot in Paris including our first experience of Group 1 qualifying - we will apply this knowledge and together with the proven pace of the Jaguar I-TYPE 3 look to covert the weekend in Monaco into points and a strong finish.
