The preparations for the 2007 season have been strong, and Orders and Feaver are looking to bury their disappointment of last year that saw their campaign dogged by misfortune.
With their goal firmly set on capturing the Privateer Championship honours, the Orders/Feaver combo are also optimistic about their chances of outright podium results in not only rounds, but the overall championship.
Orders and Feaver are confident that their objectives can be met, and they have been bolstered by the news that they will campaign a Subaru Impreza STI in this year’s Championship, and they hope to take it up to the Championship heavy weights in the field.
“Without a shadow of doubt, this is the strongest preparation we have ever had heading into a season, and it is hoped that we can transfer this into a strong 2007,” stated Orders.
“We went through a tough 2006, and that is one of our main motivations for this year, as we showed plenty of promise, yet we didn’t have the results to back it up, which was quite frustrating for both Toni and I.”
For the third year in succession, Orders will team up with co-driver Feaver, and he feels that she plays a big part in their chase for success in 2007.
“I cannot stress enough the importance of having Toni [Feaver] not only as co-driver but also to my confidence level as a driver,” explained Orders.
“This will be our third year together, and in this time we have built a strong relationship and an understanding of each other, as we both have each other’s destiny in our hands, so trust plays a big part.”
Another plus for the Orders and Feaver team is the news that they will have the support of Yokohama Tyres for the 2007 season.
“The support Yokohama has given us this year is wonderful, and we cannot thank them enough,” Orders expressed.
“As in all forms of Motorsport tyres play a crucial part in the difference between wining and losing, and I strongly believe that with the support of Yokohama, we are onto a winner.”
