Neal and Cammish aim for BTCC title bids

-

Three-time British Touring Car champion Matt Neal says that knowledge gained with the newshape FK8 Honda Civic Type R can help turn the Team Dynamics machine into a constant threat for the 2019 crown.

Neal and rookie team-mate Dan Cammish will return and have targeted improvemen­ts at circuits which were a struggle in 2018.

Neal said: “There was a lot to learn and a lot to process. We had some great results, but it didn’t always go well: there was fantastic speed in the car at certain events but not at all. We have now got a year’s data with the car and I have had a year working alongside Dan. I am looking forward to expanding on that.”

Neal finished ninth in the standings last year with two wins, one place in front of Cammish, who also took a brace of victories, in the overall driver standings.

“During the middle to the end of the season, I was strong with some great results,” said Cammish, who won the Jack Sears Trophy for the top driver who had yet to gain a podium at the start of the 2018 contest. “In 2019, I am no longer a GT driver pretending to become a BTCC driver. I am a fully-fledged BTCC driver now. I am going to start the season with the intention of being right in the shake-up at the end of the season.”
