Paul O’Neill hoping for strong results at Rockingham

Paul O’Neill had a tough time at Knockhill but is hoping to bounce back this weekend at Rockingham.
“The turbo cars seemed to benefit from the hills in Scotland a lot more than we expected, but Rockingham is a lot flatter and I’m going there more confident of some good results, although its still going to be tough,” said O’Neill.

O’Neill is hoping that the turbo power of his competitors is not as decisive at the Rockingham circuit.

“The long run round the oval is pretty much flat out so – in theory – the turbo cars shouldn’t be able to use their torque quite as much and the infield is quite technical, so we have to try and make sure we use the strength of the chassis through that section,” said O’Neill.

The best result so far this season for O’Neill is second at Snetterton and the Chevrolet driver is aiming for an equally strong result this weekend.

“It’s hard to make predictions until we get on track and we’ll have to see how it goes, but hopefully we can match the kind of results we gained at Snetterton,” said O’Neill.
