Ollie Hancock’s pre-season preparations could hardly have gone better, with
the Hampshire-based racer topping the time sheets at all three Formula Renault
BARC test days so far.
The 2007 BARC race-winner and rookie-of-the-year, was quickest of all the
BARC-spec cars at this winter’s tests at Rockingham, Brands Hatch and
Snetterton, leaving Hancock and his Scorpio Motorsport team hugely encouraged
for the forthcoming campaign.
While relative pace in testing is notoriously difficult to judge, Hancock has
gone faster than last season’s pole time at both Brands and Snetterton and feels
he and the team have made significant strides this winter.
“We’ve had a couple of small teething problems, but
generally the car feels fantastic,” said Ollie. “We’re much quicker than last year and it feels better with every
run. The guys at Scorpio have all been fantastic and we believe there’s even
more time to come. At the moment everything is heading in the right direction.”
Hancock will test again at Brands Hatch on Friday 14 March, while the 2008
Formula Renault BARC championship kicks off at the Kent circuit with a
double-header on 23/24 March.
