Rob Austin and Handy Motorsport made a fantastic return to form at Silverstone National Circuit over the weekend, 16 to 17 September, with the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship front-runners celebrating a brace of fantastic top five finishes.
“Off the back of what we’ve had recently, I’m happy to come away from Silverstone with two P5 finishes – but race three was mine, in my head the win was there”, said Austin.
“When the win is there for the taking and you have that opportunity, you want it and nothing less.
“I’m here to win, the team is here to win, and race three was a chance.”
Starting fifth for the final race, Austin made a great getaway to momentarily edge into third.
Strong performance
“It’s taken us a couple of events to resolve the issues we had with the car, but this weekend showed how competitive our package is”, added Austin.
“Yes, I wanted more from the weekend and I know we were capable of more, but it’s still been a very strong performance.”
There’s only a fortnight to wait until the action-packed BTCC season reaches its conclusion at Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit in Kent.
Providing an opportunity to see the Giulietta showcar, there will also be the chance to speak with the Handy Motorsport team following a special introduction and Q&A with touring car legend, and current ITV4 commentator, Tim Harvey.
