LOTUS ELISE CHAMPIONSHIP MECHANICAL PROBLEMS SET-IN Matt Turner struggled through two difficult races at Brands Hatch over the Bank Holiday weekend, after mechanical failure interrupted his charge in the Autobytel Lotus Elise Championship. Race
One Race
Two "I was changing from third to fourth when the gearbox got stuck. From that point on there was nothing I could do - I was just struggling to get any transmission. Then to cap it all, the tyre failed on the final lap and I had to crawl to the line." Despite these problems, Matt is now looking ahead to the next race of the championship at the famous Nurburgring in Germany. "The European races are always something special and the Nurburgring is a great name in motor sport. To win there would be something special indeed and I will be pushing like crazy, but my job is also to help my Corus Hotels team-mate Ed Horner with some set-up work. It will be an interesting run in to the season, that is for sure!" |
