Pinkney Motorsport looking for positive race day

Dave Pinkney seemed content after setting the thirteenth fastest time in today’s rain affected qualifying session.

Speaking after the session he said, “We’ve not run the car in the wet before so had to take a bit of a guesstimate on set-up, so 13th on the grid was a good effort.”

He added, “Conditions on track in qualifying weren’t easy and there were rivers running across the circuit in places. Mat Jackson and Phil Glew both suffered spins in front of me and it was difficult to get the maximum from the car. But we’ve had a solid day and the focus now is on three successful races on Sunday.”

Tomorrow will of course mark Pinkney’s first race outing in the Vauxhall Vectra but that doesn’t mean the team think they can’t improve on their qualifying pace in tomorrow‘s races.

Team manager Andrew Dean stated “We know there is more in the car and we didn’t get the best out of it when the conditions were right on track, but we are confident that we’ll be able to put a good set-up on for race day.”
