Spyker target step with 'B' car
Turkey debut

Jul.18 (GMM) Spyker must struggle through two more grands prix before it can expect to keep up with the formula one pack.

That is the insistence of the Dutch team's chief technology officer and F1 veteran Mike Gascoyne, who said the highly revised 'B' car is not due to arrive before the Turkish grand prix next month.

"Certainly with the sort of improvement we're targeting in (that) car, that will allow us to become a properly competitive team," Gascoyne is quoted as saying by Speed TV.

The orange-liveried single seaters are usually the slowest in the field this season, but Gascoyne reckons the rest of the pack will be in sight by Turkey.

"If you consider a second a lap improvement, which is what we're targeting, that will mean that we're racing with them," he said, referring to Toro Rosso, Super Aguri and Honda.

"And that's where we want to be."
