Three young drivers impressed in their British Touring Car test with Wrotham based Airwaves Racing last week.

Dan Cammish who won the Formula Ford Championship of Great Britain and Harrison Scott who finished as runner-up where part of the test along with Clio Cup Champion Josh Files.

All three were rewarded for their excellent seasons in the test session that was supported by Dunlop and they were supported by BTCC driver Tom Onslow-Cole and the Motorbase mechanics as they put the 2013 NGTC car through its paces.

The event is a great way of supporting young drivers and Team boss David Bartrum was delighted to have all three take to the track at Snetterton.

He said: “For me, it was a good test. Having two champions and one runner up we expected a high level of ability based on where they’ve all come from; but to be thrown straight in at the deep end and step into the Focus NGTC showing the speed and ability they did, away from their areas of expertise, just shows where their talents lie. All three drivers did very well and impressed the whole team.

“The day was great testament to Dunlop tyres and another show of the level of support and commitment that they show to the BTCC package as a whole; and Airwaves Racing is very proud to have been a part of it.”

The drivers also clearly enjoyed getting to grips with the Ford Focus and seeing what they can do having moved up from their respective championships.

Dan Cammish Formula Ford Champion, said: “Today has been brilliant. We managed to get 5 or 6 laps in during the morning before getting a race run in the afternoon and it was exactly how I imagined it to be honest! I felt really comfortable in the car by the end of the run and the speed was there too which was encouraging.”

“I enjoyed the whole experience immensely from driving the Focus ST NGTC to working with the Airwaves Racing crew and I’m very grateful to Dunlop for this fantastic opportunity and also to David Bartrum and Airwaves Racing for hosting the day.  It’s been great to be able to spend time with the team and it’s just focused my mind even more now on where I want to be next season – and that’s 100% driving in the BTCC.”
