TOP NOTCH TURKINGTON DELIVERS AGAIN AT OULTON PARK

COLIN TURKINGTON PRODUCES ANOTHER SENSATIONAL LAP WITH MAXIMUM BALLAST IN SUPER TIGHT QUALIFYING SESSION

  • Colin Turkington punched out another storming lap today at Oulton Park securing a spot on the 2nd row of the grid for race 1 tomorrow.
  • Claiming P3 in a super tight qualifying session, the Team BMW driver initially held pole position but ultimately the 1m25:971s was good enough for third spot.
  • Congestion on track made life difficult for the championship leader but he once again delivered the goods.
  • Colin insists he enjoyed his “thrill” around the Cheshire circuit, despite carrying maximum success ballast.

COLIN TURKINGTON

I was actually a little bit disappointed on the cool down lap, and that says a lot really.  We’re locked in to the mentality to keep pushing, that’s my job.  But now that the adrenaline has dropped I’m really pleased with the 2nd row, that’s a fantastic result by any means and given where we’d been in free practice. 

Team BMW have once again done a great job for me. Well done to everyone!

It seemed busier than ever out on track and I had to abort a lap but we got there in the end! The weight is making the car a little lazy in places and of course it limits the potential, but we did a top job with what we had today.

I’ve been checking the weather app to see what tomorrow’s going to bring so we might be in for a different type of a day.  But it will be the same game plan as ever; try and bring the car home 3 times and score good points. 

It’s also important to just get out there and enjoy it! 

Oulton Park is such a good circuit, especially in quali, on good rubber…it’s a real thrill!
