Mat Jackson: “The gloves are off”

Mat Jackson is on the hunt for a comeback at Rockingham after his nightmare weekend at Knockhill with three retirements.
“Knockhill was tough but we have to look at the positives and the car was on fire all weekend so it has given us a big boost looking forward to the Rockingham round where hopefully we can get our championship back on track,” said Jackson.

The BTCC race this weekend will be the first time ever for Jackson and Airwaves Racing at Rockingham with the Ford Focus.

“This will be the first time that we will have been to Rockingham with the Airwaves Focus so it’s a bit of an unknown but I’m buzzing about it!” said Jackson.

Jackson dropped to third in the standings after Knockhill, behind the two Hondas of Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal.

“The Hondas have a great car so we expect them to be quick, all we can do is be quicker and out race them over the three races on the Sunday! The big question is will Shedden be allowed to keep his championship position within Dynamics, or will we see Oulton Park all over again? From our side the gloves are off; we need to get back to the front and real those Hondas back in… I can’t wait!” said Jackson.
