Airwaves Racing have put the frustrations of the last two rounds behind them and turned their attention to getting their Championship challenge firmly back on track as they head to their home track Brands Hatch for the penultimate round of Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship this coming weekend.
Round 8 at Rockingham Speedway failed to deliver the results that the Motorbase-run team and lead driver Mat Jackson hoped for following a devastating weekend in Knockhill two weeks prior, and saw both driver and team slip down in the Championship standings and further away from their dream of clinching the overall honours. However, the Airwaves Team have bounced back from their adversity and are now focussed on delivering a spirited performance to close the gap on the lead and hopefully regain their crown as Independent Championship leaders.
With the Airwaves Racing and Motorbase team headquarters based less than a mile away in Wrotham, the team will be hunting home track glory in front of the thousands of BTCC fans expected to make the journey to Kent this weekend and David Bartrum’s ‘little red devils’ will be out in force once again, fielding three Mountune-powered Ford Focus ST machines on the world famous GP loop circuit as Motorbase stalwart Michael Caine returns to the number 6 car alongside team-mates Mat Jackson and Liam Griffin.
Round 9 of the BTCC featuring races 25, 26 and 27 take place on the Brands Hatch GP circuit on Sunday 2nd October. Live coverage of Sunday’s events will be shown on ITV4, itv.com and also in HD from 11.30am – 6pm; with itv.com featuring live streaming online of Saturday’s qualifying session between 3.40 and 4.10 pm.
Airwaves Racing Team Manager Oly Collins said:
“We've had an absolutely terrible run of luck recently. From leading the outright title to scoring one solitary point in two weekends is tough. It has been no one’s fault within the team; everyone has been spot on in the last month despite the poor results. We've dusted ourselves off and we're now ready for the final two meetings. The title results are out of our hands to a certain extent. All we can do now is go out there and try to have two great race weekends to finish on a high, if titles come on the back of that then great, if they don't, then we can be sure that we've all tried our very best.”
