TURKINGTON TAKES TO THE SKIES AHEAD OF SILVERSTONE

Team RAC driver and current series leader, Colin Turkington was treated to a rare view of Silverstone ahead of the next round of the British Touring Car Championships, after being taken for an ‘aerobatic’ flight over the circuit by Andy Hill, flying an Extra 300 two-seater plane. Colin was even given the opportunity to take control of the plane and perform a number of stunts himself.

Turkington also had the chance to return the favour by taking the pilot for several high speed laps around Silverstone’s National Circuit in the Team RAC BMW.

Lexis Sport will be in the heart of the Team RAC camp this Sunday as Turkington and team-mates Stephen Jelley and Anthony Reid tackle the Silverstone circuit.

TEAM RAC WIN AGAIN AT SNETTERTON

Sunday signalled the end of the mid-season break in the British Touring Car Championships, and it was another successful day in the end for Team RAC.

Our man, and current Championship leader Colin Turkington came away with first and second place finishes from the three races at Snetterton on Sunday.

Colin's team-mate Stephen Jelley had a day of mixed fortunes, with a fighting sixth place in race one, before collisions put him out of points-scoring positions in races two and three.

The boys had visited a host of Norwich City players at the club's training ground earlier in the week to gear themselves up for race weekend and get an insight into City's training regime ahead of their new season.

Guests from BBC Radio Norfolk were wined and dined in the Team RAC hospitality throughout the day and treated to a VIP tour of the pit garage.

Team RAC lie in 2nd position in the overall Teams’ Championship with Colin Turkington leading the Drivers’ Championship.

Next stop: Knockhill, Scotland - 16th August!
