This weekend will see Aaron driving for his regular BTCC team at Silverstone, UK in his Vauxhall Astra Coupe. Upon finishing this race
weekend Aaron will be flying directly to Sweden to compete in the Swedish
Touring Car Championship support race the following weekend.
The Swedish Touring Car Championship support event will be a one off
appearance for Aaron in the Swedish Volvo S60 Challenge at the Gallerasen
circuit in Karlskoga on June 8th and 9th. The Volvo Challenge is a series
for the 265bhp turbocharged S60 saloons! The car will be quite exciting and
it also re-unites Aaron with Castrol as the sponsor of his race car.
"I found the proposal to be interesting and my answer was yes straight away.
I will drive under professional circumstances in a great team, and it felt
right to drive a Castrol-Car as Iīve been sponsored by Castrol for a long
period of time in my career on Superbikes" - Aaron Slight
The race this weekend will take place in Karlskoga, Sweden. The track is
relatively technical and has the longest right turn of all the Swedish
circuits. Aaron has never raced there before.
"I donīt know anything about the circuit and I donīt feel pressured by it.
It will be a great experience and I hope I do well " - Aaron Slight
"Aaron is currently leading the Independents title in the BTCC and is hoping
to have a successful weekend before leaving for Stockholm for the following
weekends race. It's going to be a very exciting few days for Aaron." - Tubbs
