SWR is setting its sights on three consistently strong results when the BRDC Formula 4 Championship resumes at Oulton Park this coming Saturday, 6th July, where the front-running squad will be striving to get its 2013 season back on track during rounds 10, 11 and 12.Suffering a major dose of bad luck at Snetterton a fortnight ago, Matty Graham, Jack Barlow and Zou Siruiwho wont be in action at the weekend due to a clashing commitment at home in Chinaall got caught-up in unfortunate incidents.
With Barlow and Graham slipping down the championship standings to seventh and ninth position respectively as a result, the Chipping Norton team is determined to reignite its charge and mount a bid for a return to the podium.So far during its maiden season SWR has enjoyed great success, having claimed its first victory with Hastings driver Barlow in only the second race of the campaign at Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit before Edmundbyers teenager Graham secured his debut podium in round three at the squads home track. SWR is, therefore, confident normal service will be resumed in Cheshire on Saturday.Snetterton really was a very tough weekend for a variety of reasons, commented team owner Sean Walkinshaw, Thats in the past though, were all focused on Oulton Park and confident we can get back into the podium battle there.
The whole team has done a fantastic job so far this season and Matty had a very good test at Oulton last Friday, so thats given us a boost ahead of this weekend. Formula 4 is tough, there are some strong, experienced racers at the front, but if all goes smoothly next weekend were certain we can be consistently back at the sharp end in all three races.Helping SWRs bid for a successful outing at Oulton Park International Circuit will be new sponsor Saka Natural Mineral Water, one of the countrys fastest-growing water brands, which recently agreed a deal to become an official team drinks partner alongside Mad Dog Energy Lemonade.All of the Formula 4 action at Oulton Park will take place on Saturday, 6th July, with qualifying set to begin at 08.40 and rounds 10, 11 and 12 set to follow at 11.40, 14.30 and 18.00 respectively.
