A1 Team Great Britain’s ‘rookie’ racer Oliver Jarvis continued to impress today in Mexico City as he qualified third fastest for tomorrow’s ninth round of the 2006-07 A1GP World Cup of Motorsport, hosted at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
The front-running pace demonstrated by the British team through Friday’s timed sessions carried seamlessly into Saturday morning’s final practice outing with Jarvis storming to the top of the timesheets courtesy of a hot lap of 1m27.641s around the 2.74-mile track.

Jarvis, participating in his first A1GP qualifying session having been denied the opportunity back in Round 3 in Beijing due to track issues, proved himself adapt at the one-lap format immediately banging in a tour of 1m27.101s to set the second fastest time of the first 15-minute segment.
