Jota Sport are back in action this weekend as the latest round of the European Le Mans series takes to the track at the Red Bull ring in Austria.
Lining up with Simon Dolan and Filipe Albuquerque once again will be the impressive young racing driver that is Harry Tincknell.
Speaking ahead of the weekend, the Devon based racer said: “The Red Bull Ring is a high speed track requiring high down force that will suit our Zytek very well. It should be another strong track for us and so we need to take advantage of this fact.
“I have only raced there once before, in Formula Three, last season. I was really fast but had a problem in qualifying and was only 10th but came through to fourth in the race with some nice overtaking moves.”
Despite only having raced on the track once to date, Harry is confident in his abilities and those of his team to be up their once again this weekend.
He added: “It’s a great track for racing on as there are some really good overtaking places and should be easier to manage the traffic than the tight confines like Imola.
“I’m certainly on a big high from Le Mans and these four hour races that I thought were so long coming from F3 are now going to feel very short after a 24 hour race!
“It’s vital we refocus for the task. Despite our non-score at Silverstone, we are only eight points behind the leaders with 78 still available so there is everything to play for.
“After Silverstone, our title aspirations took a dent as there are only five rounds so we lost 20% of our points straight away. We went to Imola knowing we had to get pole and we had to win to have any chance. We did that and with the results elsewhere going in our favour puts us right back in the hunt.
“We will attack the Red Bull Ring race in the same way as Imola. We’ll be gunning for the extra point for pole to keep our 100% record going and hunting down another race win – a podium is our minimum target. The way the team and driver squad is performing, we should be able to produce another strong performance.”
