To come away with three top tens is not a bad result, especially as the car we had on Sunday was in now way a race-winning or even podium-challenging car. There’s plenty of positives to take, though. The car has shown it has the pace over one lap, and this was the second event where I have qualified as the top BMW – when you take into account weight correction, there’s pretty much nothing between myself and Colin.
The next round of the BTCC takes place at Snetterton, with the double points race to celebrate 60 years of the championship and getting a good result in that will be key for the championship. We just need to keep finishing, but podiums and wins are a must at this stage of the season.
Before that, though, we have the most important event of the year – the BTCC Shootout at the Festival of Speed. I’m really looking forward to it, it’s going to be a good, fun weekend and while we’ll be going head-to-head with our rivals in the championship, it’s going to be a bit of light-hearted fun. I need to retain my Goodwood crown, but with the likes of Matt Neal, Tom Ingram and Josh Cook snapping at my heels, it won’t be easy!
