![]() Four of the BSR drivers have been taking part in a test session on the Interlagos circuit in Brazil. Andy Graydon (who has recently signed for Power Horse) was quickest with Colombian Javier Quintero on hundredths behind. Bob Millington and Anton John also made good improvements in their times over the course of the test. Andy was quick to point out that although Bob Millington finished third overall, his first and third sector times were the quickest of the session. Andy Graydon is now trying to organize further BSR test prior to the start of the 2002 LFRS.

![]() Artur Costa has given BSR Grand Prix a dream start to the 2002 IGP3C with pole position in Australia. Having battled for the top spot with last years champion Aki Koskinen and a new Finnish driver, Arto Rissanen, Costa took pole by just six hundredths of a second. Matt Maple also drove brilliantly to finally finish 6th on the grid. Both the BSR and Alcoholica teams are looking strong this season and the battle between Costa and Koskinen looks to continue from last year. BSR Grand Prix are now in a really strong position to take points in the first race of the 2002 season. Team boss Ben Saunders was said to be absolutely delighted with the performance of both Costa and Maple.

![]() After joining Power Horse Racing at the very last minute, Andy Graydon drove brilliantly to finish 14th on the Albert Park grid. This was the first competitive run of the PH1 and
the team were delighted that it ran glitch free! Brian Crowley who was
drafted in at the last moment was not so fortunate and did not arrive in
Australia early enough to put in a qualifying lap. The team are now in a
great position to build on a promising start to the new season.

With the departure of Bob Plummer from Power Horse Racing just prior to the start of the 2002 IGP3C season, BSR Grand Prix were left without a driver for the second seat in the Power Horse Racing team. Ben Saunders has also decided to concentrate more on the management side of BSR/PHR in 2002 and will also step aside. |

| We are now proud to announce Andy Graydon and Brian Crowley as our new driver line up for Power Horse Racing. Both drivers are already members of the BSR squad and we feel this is an excellent opportunity for them prove their driving skills.

Bob
Plummer Hangs up his HelmetAfter completing the 2001 season I was always unsure as to whether or not Bob Plummer would return to competitive Grand Prix. Well after many months of deliberations and also a change in his working environment, Bob has decided to call it a day. I for one would like to thank him for his involvement in BSR Grand Prix and would also like to wish him all the best in the future. Ben Saunders (Team Boss, BSR Grand Prix) |

![]() In the first qualifying session of the 2002 Grand Prix Gamer Racing League (GPGRL) Daniel Wilkinson and Jeroen Van Driel both line up in the top 10! Both drivers seemed happy with their performance in this, the first true impression we get of the 2002 GPGRL line up. First on the grid was GPGRL veteran Scott Pock in the all new Vantage team. The feeling in the paddock is that both drivers are in a strong position to score valuable world championship points for Fox Racing.
