Colin Turkington's racing future remains uncertain
Another week has gone by and the momentum continues to build ahead of the 2010 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.
Here’s a look back at some of the stories that have emerged over the past seven days.
AmD's VW Golf at the Autosport International show
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.
Leading at Brands Hatch
Back to Brands Hatch again then! The championship started at Brands and it’s going to end at Brands. It’s a local track for me and it has generally been good to me at the end of recent seasons, so I would really like to go out on a high again this year.
I’d like to think we can make it into the top five in qualifying, finish there or thereabouts in race one and then go on to get a podium or a win in race two or three. What I don’t want to do is end up in a situation where I’m compromised because I end up getting involved with Colin or Fabrizio. I hope I can qualify towards the front and let all that happen behind me.
Knockhill - always dramatic
It’s been a while since my last update and it’s been pretty eventful during that time. We went to Snetterton after the long summer break and now we’re at Knockhill in Scotland.
Snetterton didn’t quite go to plan. We struggled on Saturday and the problem with that is that it puts you on the back foot for race day. I made a good start to the first race getting up to 10th from 14th, but I got spun around and the damage from that put me out of the race. That meant I started race two from the back.
I’m pretty pleased with sixth place in qualifying, even if I had to do it twice! I was sixth when I lost my times for failing the ride height check and I then went back out again and got back up to seventh, which became sixth when Giovanardi was thrown out.
