Telefónica World Series by Nissan (7th Meeting)
Official Press Conference

RICARDO ZONTA (Gabord Competición) BR

"I didn't expected to be Champ here, but I'm really satisfied, to be honest-and I will make then the party in Curitiba, my home. It has been a great week end, and of course, but I'm not very happy with the second race. I did a bad start and Wilson tried to overtake and he succeeds. I did an early pit stop, so as to overtake him, but I stalled the engine-I lost almost a second-the time to let Wilson escape".

JUSTIN WILSON (Racing Engineering) GBR

"Finally I achieved the victory that we really merited it. This is a Championship with great level and I really thought that I wasn't gonna make it! With the arrival of David, my engineer, who came at the mid of the Season, everything started to be OK! The car was really competitive and the team did a great job during this three days. With a little more luck at the first race, it could have been better-In fact, I'm a little disappointed with the way the Safety Car pulled out, I have never seen something like this in my life!"

ANDER VILARIÑO (Epsilon by Graff) ESP

"I'm very satisfied. This has been my best result in the WS so far: one pole position, one second place, one sixth position-Pitty that Zonta did a bad start in the second race, maybe I could had win for the first time in this Series-In the second race, somebody touched me and made lost some places, but it's better a sixth that nothing".

JEAN CLAUDE RAVIER (Epsilon by Graff) FR

"It has been a very good week-end, and it has been very worthy for all the work developed by the team! Then car was perfect during the first race and as for the second race, we did a perfect pit stop strategy and we overtook Cochet. "
