Magazine Editor Phil Woods says,

“This is a great opportunity for both the magazine and Tony, we have always worked well together. All I will say to other drivers on the grid is, watch our for the PLR logo in your rear view mirrors, you will only get a few moments to see it before it passes you by. Everyone at Pit Lane Reporter believes in the talents of Tony Gilham and are looking forward to working closely with him as he aims to make this a weekend to remember”

Phil said,

“This is a great opportunity for both the magazine and Tony, we have always worked well together. All I will say to other drivers on the grid is, watch our for the PLR logo in your rear view mirrors, you will only get a few moments to see it before it passes you by.”

He added,
