Houston Provides Great Learning


Coming off their great debut, Adrien Herberts and the #45 Palading Motorsports Car were definantly set for a challenge at MSR Speedway in Houston.  Touted as a very fast, challenging track, Adrien and Paladin were one of the only team/driver combinations to have not driven at the track before hand; most teams had done multiple test days.

Regardless, Adrien and his engineer Juan Carlos worked on their communication and car setups throughout the weekend.  Clearly at the disadvantage of not having been at the track, Adrien was not able to attain #1 again like in Sebring, but he spent a large amount of time in the top ten on what is a very challenging track. 

"That track is very fast, very bumpy, and that combined with the speed of these Atlantic cars made it one of the most intense driving experiences of my life" Adrien said.  The track had mulitple corners that were taken at over 150KPH, including one that was around 200KPH.  It also was very bumpy, to the point were Adrien said at one point "Its like being put in a blender."

Overall, the weekend was very positive as Adrien and the Paladin Motorsports team continued to fine tune their racing program, and look to come out strong at Laguana Seca.
