COLIN TURKINGTON

Wow, what a close session! I couldn’t be more satisfied with that. The car was mint, I got everything from it and a super tow from Steve on my second run was crucial. We made all the right moves today, we should be proud.

That was arguably the most important qualifying session of the year and we delivered. I am so so pleased with my performance, to be the fastest BMW on track is a great result. I have to thank Stephen for giving me the tow in that second run. It bumped me up a good few positions and that will be crucial tomorrow.

The car really was pitch perfect out there, and the decisions we made between FP2 and the quali session were spot on. It’s not always easy to get these things right when carrying the weight.

Colin said that the Wingfoot award was for his eldest son Lewis
