MB Motorsport accelerated by Blue Square driver Jake Hill had what he described as ‘probably my best BTCC weekend ever’ after firstly qualifying on the front-row of the grid, a mere 0.053 seconds away from Pole Position, then taking a second top-three finish in a row in race one, and adding much-needed points with two battling drives to P8 and P5 in the remaining two races. What was so good about this weekend was the qualifying pace – I’ve now qualified in the top-seven in all four events, and in both race one and race three today the car was really strong. But I just had enough at key places, the car was strong in them and I did my bit too! Sure enough, Hill ended up P4 on the grid for the final race of the day, now with less ballast on board and some changes to the car. “Thruxton is next and the car was on pole for both races there last year, so having come so close at Brands Hatch and Knockhill maybe I can nip pole there.
