Great Britain’s Adam Carroll goes into the first of two tough weeks of
back to back races starting this weekend in Germany. Already on the
podium at the Nurburgring earlier in the year for the European round,
the German round is at the historic Hockenheim circuit.
The 23 year old from Portadown in Northern Ireland experienced another
frustrating weekend at the last round in France after being hit from
behind in race 1 and forced to start from the back in race 2. Could it
be that the luck travels with him this weekend?
“It certainly didn’t travel with me here last year, my engine packed in
before the race had even started! This weekend the heat is expected to
be pretty unbearable so we also have that to contend with.
“I said before France that we made some good in-roads regarding set-up
in our summer test at Paul Ricard. We didn’t get an opportunity to try
them out last round as I was hit on the first lap, but hopefully this
will be the weekend that we see our hard work come to fruition.”

Hockeheim is a still a favourite with many drivers, despite it
resembling little of the former ‘classic’ track after safety changes
meant dramatic reductions to both the layout, speed and length of the
circuit.
