Fresh start for Turkington and “Flash”

Colin Turkington heads for his Scandinavian Touring Car Championship debut this weekend at Jyllandsringen in Denmark. The 2009 BTCC champion says that he is ready.
“This is the beginning of a new adventure and I know the competition is really strong. But my aim for this weekend is to have two strong finishes,” said Turkington.

Turkington drives alongside double STCC champion Jan “Flash” Nilsson in the BMW team Flash Engineering. “Flash” starts his 16th STCC season this year, but there is no problem to find new motivation, according to the Swede.

“There is no doubt about the fact that the STCC field of this year is the strongest of the 15 STCC seasons that I have driven. This motivates me strongly and I can guarantee that we are going to provide an excellent racing season this year,” said “Flash”.

Team mate Turkington was second fastest in the official pre-season test at Knutstorp last week.

“Obviously it was only testing, people often do not show their real performance. But it feels good to get a receipt on our test program and knowing that we have the speed for the sharp top end of the field,” said Turkington.
