Andrew Herron heads into the biggest race meeting of his career next weekend, the World Series by Renault-supporting 10th round of the ELF Renault Clio Cup on 8th/9th September at Donington Park Grand Prix Circuit, confident of a strong showing as he bids to consolidate his top 10 placing in the driver standings.As his maiden season of car racing action begins to draw to a close, next weekend’s action marking the penultimate round of the 2007 championship, the 19-year-old from Northern Ireland has made a big impact during his first year of competition and is looking forward to his first ever outing on the Leicestershire venue’s famous Grand Prix layout.With an expected attendance of over 100,000 spectators for next weekend’s event, the race will undoubtedly be the biggest of the Dromore-based racer’s short career and hopes are high the 10th round of the campaign could indeed offer a great opportunity for Andrew to achieve his first ever Clio Cup podium result.During the sixth race meeting of the season at Donington’s National Circuit in mid-July, Andrew produced a stunning qualifying performance in his Heat to post the third fastest time, even though he had a gearbox problem at the time which cost him pole position.An opening lap incident forced him to drop a long way down the order and although having to start the feature race from a lowly 27th on the grid, the Co. Down sensation produced a scintillating rise through the field in tricky wet conditions to eventually finish an outstanding ninth.  Having completed all but one race this year, his only non-finish coming during the feature race at Brands Hatch Indy Circuit last time out, Andrew has enjoyed a highly consistent first season of saloon car racing which has belied his lack of experience.“Things like the first lap at Brands Hatch are always going to happen”, said Andrew, “I’ve finished every other race this year so I’m confident we’ll get back to that kind of form at Donington next weekend.“I’ve forgotten all about Brands now actually, I’m just concentrating on Donington and confident we should be strong as we were fast there on the National Circuit in July. I qualified third in my heat even though we had a gearbox problem and then had good pace in the race so if all goes well it could be a successful event for us.”The JHR Developments ace, who aims to eventually progress into the realms of touring cars or GT racing, is currently 10th overall in the driver standings, tied on points with Dan Eagling and former VW Cup Champion Philip House, but is hoping the Donington round will allow him to open-up a gap over his close rivals.Andrew added: “I’m really looking forward to the event, it’s a world-famous circuit and if we can be in the top five or six in the feature race at such a big race meeting I’ll be happy. I want to have a good run in front of such a big crowd and although you never know what’s going to happen, if all goes well I know we’ll be right there near the front.”Andrew’s first experience of the Grand Prix configuration will come less than a week from now on Wednesday, 5th September, during official pre-event testing. The weekend itself for the JHR ace will get underway with Group 2 qualifying at 10.20 on Saturday, 8th September, with his qualification race expected to begin at 18.30.The points-scoring feature race, round 10 of the ELF Renault Clio Cup season, will then take place at 11.30 on Sunday, 9th September, and will be contested over 12 laps of the Donington Park Grand Prix Circuit.Provisional 2007 ELF Renault Clio Cup Driver Standings (after Rd9)1st Martin Byford, 201pts; 2nd Stefan Hodgetts, 182pts; =10th Andrew Herron, Dan Eagling & Philip House, 81pts
