 Championship leader Tracy said he was excited to race at Brands Hatch and felt the circuit would be challenging to drive.Tracy had won the previous three races of the season, and aimed to secure his fourth consecutive victory, but said he was not thinking about his recent success.After starting from pole position in two of the three opening rounds of the season but retiring from the lead in both races, Sébastien Bourdais of Newman/Haas Racing said he wanted to win the race because of its proximity to his home country France.
