James Suttons Carrera Cup mid-term review
James Sutton says that he is not thinking about the Porsche Carrera Cup GB title this season and is simply out to win as many races as he can when the season resumes at Snetterton on 1/2 August.Currently, after 10 of the 20 races, Sutton lies fourth in the overall standings to Tim Bridgman, Tim Harvey and Michael Caine, but he says that missing the first two races of the season before joining Red Line Racing means that his chances of repeating his 2007 title success are slim."I don't intend to think about the championship," said Sutton. "If we come to the last round and it's still mathematically possible, then I'll think about it. To miss the first two races of the year makes it very difficult, the way the points work. You've got no dropped scores, so it was always going to be difficult. But I just enjoy driving these cars more than anything I've ever driven and it's just good to be in the Carrera Cup for the rest of the season."Sutton says that the chance to rejoin Red Line Racing was key to his return to the Carrera Cup. "I wouldn't want to do it with anyone other than Red Line Racing. It's a great team and I'm really enjoying it. We're very fortunate to have SAS supporting us; we wouldn't have been able to do it without their support. It's a dream come true for me because I remember watching the SAS cars before I came into the Carrera Cup and thinking they looked fantastic. So I feel quite privileged to be driving for them now."After taking a superb third place in the Porsche Supercup race supporting the British Grand Prix at Silverstone last month, Sutton is hoping to do more Supercup races and would love the chance to graduate to the Grand Prix supporting series full time in 2010."We're looking at some more Supercup races later this season," he said. "After the result at Silverstone it would be good to get out there and do some more Supercup races. Now I'm back in Carrera Cup GB and we're up there again, I look at Supercup and really want to do it!"
