pips me at the post, whereas my car
tends to be the same from start to finish.
We’ll work on that and I’ll improve. It was
a tough weekend but that’s touring cars.
It’s so close. If you don’t qualify well,
you’re in real trouble. It’s exactly what I
expected.”
Predictions for 2019? This could be a
tough call. On one hand, the car
looked very competitive here in 2018, it
loved the straights and hills but the
tightness of the circuit played it’s part on
both of our drivers. Race two saw Dan
being shoved off on the downhill section
and collecting a very unfortunate car
accidentally at the bottom of the hill.
Thankfully, he got smacked in to the
right direction and was able to finish the
race but on Race 3 Matt was rear ended
in a tight situation by Tom Ingram,
accidentally of course but it knocked
Matt out of contention for the race.
Looking ahead to 2019, I feel there will
be lots more of that. It is essential to
qualify well to avoid the M25 style
racing. There’s no reason why the guys
wont do well here. It is a good Honda
track if the wind is favourable but as we
all know, nothing is certain in BTCC and
this track probably carries the most risk,
I so can’t wait!
Spectator tips? Access to the track is no
problem, as with the escape at the end
of the day. It only took us about 15
minutes to get out.
Team Dynamics Results 2018
As I said earlier, viewing is best from Hill
Top where you can see so much of the Oulton Park
circuit but do cross the bridge and visit
the paddock area. There is lots to see
and do and getting around the pits is Drivers Championship
very cool too.
Matt Neal 6th 98 points
You will also need to be this side for the Dan Cammish 10th 69 points
pit walk and for the autograph session.
You can also access the inside circuit Team Championship
viewing areas here. It does tend to get a
little crowded but still great viewing. Halfords Yuasa 2nd 164 points
My last tip would be for the weather Constructors Championship
warning, Again, this is peak summer
and it may be hot so ensure you are well Honda 3rd 298 points
protected with sunscreen. On the other
hand, if it is raining, you will be very
exposed to the elements. In short, plan
ahead and be prepared. Oulton Park Circuit
Little Budworth,
In short, this has got to be a must for Tarporley,
your BTCC calendar. A wonderful Cheshire CW6 9BW
location, bags of action and completely
unpredictable. Would you really want Ticket Hotline: 0843 453 9000
anything else from the British Touring
Car Championship?
