Dan Cammish:
“I’m hoping for a much better weekend. I always enjoy Oulton; I’ve gone well there in the past and I’m hoping to have a bit of a reset. I need a strong weekend, not just a strong Saturday. A strong qualifying certainly will set us up for a good weekend and we know how difficult it is to overtake there.
“We’re three rounds into the season and two of them have been almost a write off for me, so I could really do with a bit of a change in fortune. I need a bit of luck. I’ve been through this before in my career, I’ve been on the receiving end of it, I’ve been on the good end of it, and right now, everything that can go wrong is going wrong. However, there are times where it’s completely opposite and everything you touch turns to gold. I could really do with that back!
“I don’t think the hybrid is doing very much at all and I’d almost be happy for us all to race without it. I’m not sure it’s really making a difference to the racing as the leaders have kind of proved – not that I’ve been much in the lead battle – but when you’ve got people winning off the front more than they ever have, we’re not really seeing that change in race two, for example.
“That said, Oulton is always a great one, because we get a lot of spectators. It’s a good family day out, which is enjoyable, and from a driving point of view, Oulton is one of the best circuits I think we travel to.”
NAPA Racing UK star Dan Cammish is hoping for a change in fortune as he and the British Touring Car Championship head to Oulton Park in Cheshire, for rounds 10, 11, and 12 of the season, this weekend (June 11/12).
A BTCC race winner and three-time Porsche Carrera Cup GB champion, Dan has been blighted by misfortune so far this year, having suffered a freak fire which knocked his weekend off course at Donington Park, and contact from rivals last time out at Thruxton.
In between, there was positivity with a double podium finish on the Brands Hatch Indy circuit and the Yorkshireman will be hoping to have that kind of form this time out. In previous visits, the 33-year-old has claimed three BTCC podiums at Oulton Park, alongside five Carrera Cup victories.
Dan and Motorbase Performance team-mate Ash Sutton will head out for two 40-minute practice sessions at 09:45 and 12:25 on Saturday, June 11th, before qualifying at 15:30 which can be viewed on ITV’s BTCC website.
After a pit walk and autograph session on Sunday morning, the first of three 15-lap races is set for 12:20, with race two at 14:45 – both of which will be broadcast live on ITV1 for the second time this year. The final race of the weekend is due to get underway at 17:10 and, as usual, can be seen live on ITV4, as well as ITV Hub online.
