Steven Kane in qualifying at Brands Hatch
So, here we are after qualifying at Brands Hatch. In Carrera Cup we had a very good day. We qualified on pole in each class. Touring car wise, we’ve got a bit of work to do. I don’t quite know what happened today. We didn’t quite hit the window we were expecting to hit.
Rockingham was ok. It was nice to bank more points, it was nice to come out of the place with Airwaves BMW still leading the championship. It was nice to have two podiums.
Airwaves BMW on the podium at Thruxton
If someone had said to me back in January that I’d have Steven back in the car and I’d have Mat Jackson as well, and then that we’d have a 1-2…well, I’d have looked at them with complete disbelief.
Thruxton is a notoriously difficult circuit for the BMWs, so I was pretty pleased when Mat got a podium in the first race. I thought that was probably the best we were going to get out of the weekend.
Airwaves BMW on the BTCC grid in 2010
Well, it’s been an interesting winter! On November 18th, we got a letter from Airwaves saying they were withdrawing – no other reason than a change of owner I think. It’s not something the Wrigley’s guys wanted to do. It meant we spent a lot of time during the winter trying to find a sponsor, which is very hard at the moment.
Then, we signed Rob, which was great. I’m sad to not have him with us, because Rob’s part of our history and I think it should have been a line-up with Rob and one of those two other guys in there again. That’s happened though, it’s done.

The Autosport International show always marks a step up in activity ahead of a new BTCC season and 2010 is no different.
There may not have been any revelations at the show this year, but we’ve had new liveries and the first public outing for the VW Golf that AmD are developing for the series.
