The GP2 Series calendar reaches the halfway stage this weekend, with the race at Silverstone being the fifth of the season. Racing Engineering will go to the track in the English Midlands with some very clear objectives, to maintain its lead in the Drivers`Championship, currently in the hands of Giorgio Pantano, and to get to the top of the team standings, where the team lies second just three points off the top.

The Racing Engineering team driver, Javier Villa, finished in tenth place at the end of the second GP 2 race at Magny Cours. Giorgio Pantano, after his great victory on the Saturday, had to retire with mechanical problems in the middle of the race. The winner, on a day that was complicated by the unstable weather was Buemi, and he was followed by Buurman and Filippi

In an action-packed race Massa carried off the victory in the French GP. He was helped by a mechanical problem on Räikkönen`s car and so the Finn had to make do with second position. Trulli was third on the podium after coming out on top in a battle with Kovalainen, fourth. Alonso had a bad race and could only finsih eighth.

After last week`s test sessions at the Paul Ricard circuit, this weekend the Racing Engineering team and all the others participating in the GP2 series 2008 return to French territory for the fourth date of the season at the circuit of Magny Cours. This is the track that hosts the French Formula 1 GP and one holds some good memories for the Spanish team, this is because last year Javier Villa got his first ever victory in the category that is the final step before F1.
