The AmD with Cobra Exhausts team enjoyed a strong weekend on track at Oulton Park to secure a top 10 finish from the latest rounds of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship season.
Ollie Jackson led the West Thurrock team’s challenge and was rewarded with a points finish in race one (14th) before a superb drive saw him close in ninth in race two.
A puncture put paid to his hopes in race three, as he finished in 21st.
Team-mate Sam Smelt’s best finish of the weekend was 17th in race three.
Jackson said: “The big thing this weekend is that we had a better qualifying and it left us in a position to challenge on race day.
“In the second race in particular, we were a match for anyone in the closing stages on the soft tyre and the team has done a brilliant job with the car – it was spot on.
Shaun Hollamby, AmD with Cobra Exhausts team principal, added: “I’m sure he [Jackson] could have had a top ten in race three without the contact.”
