Motorbase pleased with Adam test

Jonathan Adam completed the test for Motorbase at Brands Hatch today. The reigning British SEAT Cupra champion impressed team boss David Bartrum.
“I was very impressed with Jonathan Adam. He did 85 laps no problem and was quickly on the pace,” said Bartrum to BTCC.net.

“For a 24-year-old he’s got a very cool head on his shoulders. He interacts very well with the team, is strong with feedback and his approach is very good. You ask him to do certain things and he does them… so well in fact we’ll do two more sessions with him tomorrow.”

Tim Harvey was present during the test, helping the 24-year-old Adam with his first ever rear-wheel-drive touring car.

“The car was great to drive and I felt I adjusted to it quite quickly. I became more at one with the car with each run. The Motorbase team instantly made me feel at ease and I also had Tim Harvey helping me which proved invaluable,” said Adam.

“It has of course been a goal of mine for two or three years to break into the BTCC and hopefully that will happen in 2009.”

The team will continue testing tomorrow and Adam will be joined by SEAT Cupra Eurocup-runner James Nash.
