Darryl O’Young returns to Bamboo Engineering

By

Darryl O’Young is going to return to Bamboo Engineering for the remaining WTCC races of 2012.
“I am very close to the entire team at bamboo and I am confident we can carry where we left off in the 2011 season,” said O’Young.

O’Young joined Special Tuning Racing ahead of this season, driving a SEAT León, a contract which ended ahead of the three final races of 2012.

The return to Bamboo Engineering means familiar grounds for the Hong Kong-racer who made his WTCC debut with the team in 2010.
“I know the car well and the engineers know my driving style, I also have a strong teammate in Alex MacDowall so these are the right ingredients to try and turn my season around in front of my home crowds in Asia. I have to thank bamboo for the opportunity to work together again and I’ll do everything in my ability to succeed in the coming rounds,” said O’Young.

Next up for O’Young is Suzuka on the 21st of October, followed by Shanghai and Macau.
“We’re all very excited to be working with him again, and we’re hoping it will be third time lucky in Macau to get the win after he claimed Independents pole in 2010 and 2011. With Darryl back on board we are looking forward to delivering more solid results in the closing rounds of the season,” said Team Principal Richard Coleman.
