Team Aircool race to make the race

Team Aircool with GR Asia are working flat-out to make the grid for the First round of the HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship this weekend.
“Following negotiations with Seat they have pulled out all the stops for us and managed to finish our new Seat Leon ahead of schedule,” team Manager Graham Davis reports.

“After being contacted by Seat just before Easter it was agreed that we would be able to collect the car from them on the afternoon of Tuesday 25th March. Having thought all would be plain sailing we then found that it is against French law for our transporter to be on the road over the bank holiday weekend.

“The result was that while most of the country enjoyed Easter Monday at home Tony our driver left for Barcelona in a Pick-up Truck and Trailer ready to be waiting outside the Seat Sport Workshop by lunchtime Tuesday.

“The latest news is that the car has been loaded onto the trailer and is now on its way back to the UK but is still unpainted and carrying no sponsors logos or decals and is destined to go straight from the Ferry to Brands Hatch where the Team will pull out all the stops to get the car finished ready for the weekend.”

We at TouringCarTimes wish team all the luck and hope to see them on the grid at Brands Hatch.
