I am sure he will achieve this. However it's a little disappointing to see the Team are only running one of the two cars they purchased from Motorbase. I hope they can do a deal to add another car sometime later in the season. Great to see Dave Newsham aiming for top ten finishes. I am sure he will achieve this.

So far the Audi's haven't been out, Tony Hughes, Tom Onslow-Cole and Frank Wrathall have had hardly anytime at all. I just hope they can all get their teething problems sorted b4 Brands! Good luck guys we really wanna see all of the 27 running come round 1. I’m shocked that there seem to be a few teams that haven’t had any time in their cars.

I'm sure that when NGTC regs are fully adopted, we'll see a lot more manufacutrers involved and some fantastic racing. So excited for the coming season, totally cannot wait and looking forward to the btcccrazy coverage! Definitely the best RSS feed to have at work!

However Dave is a good driver and with the right car and team behind him I am sure he will do well. The thing I like about him is the fact that he doesn't care what he says or does when things don't go well for him. Like the incident on tv at Knockhill a few years back when he stood at the side of the track pointing @ another competitors car and jesticulating that the other driver was a w*nker as all the other cars went by! Classic Pinkney moment. Good Luck Dave Roll on Media Day so we can all see how good that new A4 will look I saw this on Touring Car Times yesterday and if I’m totally honest I wasn’t expecting that.
