Airwaves Racing celebrate at Brands Hatch
It’s always special to start the season at Brands Hatch and we always want to do well at our home circuit. For me it was a bit of a pressure release and it was great to get some strong results.
Mat did a superb a job at Brands and I’m sure he will keep doing a superb job, which vindicates my decision to nail him down as early as possible last year to stay with us and not let him go and drive one of those Chevrolets.
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.
