VX RACING DRIVERS CONFIDENT OF STRONGER PERFORMANCES IN TOMORROW’S TOURING CAR RACES AT OULTON PARK
Irishman Gavin Smith has repeated his 2005 trick of out-qualifying both his VX Racing team-mates at Oulton Park this afternoon.
Smith, who is in only his second year of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship, sparred with Ulsterman Colin Turkington in the day’s second free practice, exchanging fastest lap times for the whole 40 minutes.
After studying telemetry, the VX Racing team was optimistic about its chances in official qualifying, but the weather deteriorated and Smith struggled to repeat his earlier brilliance, finishing the session in 10th place.
