AmDTuning boss sets podium target

AmDTuning.com team boss Shaun Hollamby says he hopes to see the Audi squad challenge for a podium finish before the end of the BTCC season.

The team heads for Silverstone this weekend seeking to maintain a solid campaign that has seen drivers Ollie Jackson and Ant Whorton-Eales regularly challenge for points finishes.

Both have led reverse grid races this season with the ever-improving S3 and Hollamby said he felt a ‘great result’ could be just around the corner.

“I feel very positive going into Silverstone,” he said. “We’ve been knocking on the door of a great result for a while now, and I think that both Ollie and Ant have shown that they have the pace to be on the podium if things were to fall our way.

“We’ve shown we can challenge for the top ten and score points, and to get onto the podium with the Audi has to be the new aim – hopefully before the end of the season.

“Silverstone should suit the car and having learned a lot again at Rockingham, I’m confident that – with the pace we have unlocked in the car – the guys can bring home some good results.”

AmDTuning.com has a single podium finish to its name, with Dave Newsham having taken second place at Knockhill back in 2014.
