Graham looking to build on Round 1 positives
Thursday, April 28, 2016
Matthew Graham is full of confidence heading into this weekend’s British GT race meeting at Rockingham Motor Speedway, having shown impressive pace two weeks ago at the season opening round at Brands Hatch.
Graham and his Macmillan Racing team mate Jack Mitchell, were consistently placed in the top five of the GT4 class across the weekend in their Aston Martin, with the 19 year old from Stamfordham battling over second place when he was taken out in a huge accident a third of the way through the race.
Having run so strongly in what was the first competitive outing for both the team and the drivers, Graham is confident that this weekend’s race can deliver a good haul of championship points.
“Heading into round two at Rockingham, I’m feeling confident in myself and in the team. We have a fast car that is capable of a good result, as we showed in the race at Brands Hatch before the incident and I was really happy with how the pace was in the race” said Graham
“I’ve been to Rockingham twice in a single seater before, I’ve never raced there but I’m looking forward to this weekend. I really want to get back out in the car and get the result that I think we deserve.
“If I hadn’t have had that incident, I would have been in a really strong position when I handed the car over to Jack. We’d have been either in the lead or in second and if Jack had have had his chance in the car; he would have also shown what we as a team are about.”
