         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.

         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.

         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
