Caine wins Michelin award in Carrera Cup at Oulton

Michael Caine is the latest Porsche Carrera Cup GB racer to benefit from Michelin’s on-going support of the championship by winning a set of tyres this weekend at Oulton Park (4/5 June).Caine, racing for Nationwide/Motorbase, arrived at Oulton Park as the proud father of a baby daughter Charlotte, born to Michael’s wife Kim in mid-May. His success in the tyre draw was mirrored by an upswing in on-track performance as the Motorbase squad enjoyed its best qualifying pace to date, with Caine posting fourth fastest time less than a tenth of a second away from pole position.Having been the control tyre supplier for the Carrera Cup GB since the championship was created in 2003, Michelin is once more supporting the teams and drivers with the award of a complete set of slick racing tyres at each event. Before the start of testing, a name is drawn from a hat to receive the tyres, with a value of more than £1000.
