Whenever we come here, I seem to be able to do a 48.9. We just cannot get past that at the moment, but the Airwaves BMW is really fantastic. I feel we can race a lot better than the Vauxhalls. I think that come the end of the race, we’ll be in much better condition than them.
Jason Plato’s late entry into the 2009 BTCC is great for the championship. Not least because the 2001 champ is great for a soundbite.
There’s no prizes for guessing what he was describing as, “the dullest thing in the world. It doesn’t turn and it doesn’t stop”.
Airwaves BMW drivers Jonny Adam and Rob Collard are running dramatically different set-ups heading into this afternoon’s qualifying session at Brands Hatch – but both seem to be providing plenty of pace.
There’s just a couple of days to go until Brands Hatch now, so it’s almost time for the talking to stop and the racing to begin. I’ve just come back from the gym tonight, so my preparation for the new season is in its final stages.
To be quite honest, testing has been fantastic. We tested at Rockingham on media day and we were left scratching our heads a bit as to how Colin Turkington had gone so quick in his BMW. But it’s subsequently become clear that he perhaps wasn’t running the right weights.
After Rockingham we went to Snetterton and then Brands Hatch. We had some good setup data for Brands from when we were there before, and also from last year. I’d done a 49.1 when we were there previously, but we had no-one to compare it to, so it was good to go quicker with a 48.9 when everyone else was there too.
