Hanley waiting for decision on future

The Brit was placed into the World Series by Renault for 2006 after just one season of car racing in Italian Formula Renault, and he finished eighth in the standings.

Hanley had stayed with Cram Competition, the team he raced for in Italy, and his best result of the season came at Misano, where he took a second place.

But after setting the pace in testing this week at Paul Ricard with 2006 champions Comtec Racing, Hanley now has to wait for a decision on his future.

"It's up to the RDD managers to decide which direction I take next," he said, "but I have the impression that the 2007 World Series will be very competitive."

Hanley was also pleased with how well things had gone with the top team from this season.

"I am very pleased about our result, everything went well right from the word go," he said.

"The feel of the car was excellent on new tyres, and I wanted to show that I could push to the limits of it."
