the only real high point of the 2006 season was a pole position, third place and second place combo at silverstone. it was clear throughout the season, however, that carroll's team was not as strong as the majority of the other teams in the series. this was highlighted many times due to car failures that cost him many points throughout the year. as well as this, the car was distinctly slower and he also had trouble with other drivers hitting him from behind. this coupled with a driver error while leading race two in hungary cost carroll a lot of points that, should he have gained them, he would have been in contention for at least third in the championship. as it was though, carroll's 33 points was enough to give him eighth place (equal points with seventh-placed gianmaria bruni with bruni ahead having scored more wins). carroll scored all of his team's points, outscoring his old team super nova racing.
