BRACE OF TOP SIXES KEEP VW CUP ACE CAYGILL IN CHAMPIONSHIP TOP FOURVolkswagen Scirocco racer Josh Caygill continued his superbly consistent 2014 season with a pair of competitive top six finishes at Snetterton 300 Circuit over the weekend, 21st/22nd June, to round-out the latest event of the Milltek Sport Volkswagen Racing Cup campaign fourth in the championship.Continuing the sort of impressive form he displayed at Silverstone three weeks ago, the second year VW Cup racer confirmed his podium potential in qualifying at the Norfolk track with the fifth fastest time of 2m08.090 seconds (83.44mph) – just eight hundredths of a second shy of the top three.Although shuffled back a couple of places on the opening lap of round seven on Saturday, the AWM driver remained in touch with the lead group and into the second tour he was right on the tail of the top six after moving back into seventh.Following a short Safety Car period, the Netherton-based driver ran close behind the battling Jack Walker-Tully and Stewart Lines and with just a few tenths of a second covering the trio he seized his chance on the penultimate lap. As Lines defended fifth heavily, it gave Caygill an opportunity to attack Walker-Tully and he sliced past for sixth which he held to the finish on lap nine.With the top six finishers from the opening encounter ‘reversed’ to form the upper order of the round eight grid, Caygill began Sunday’s race from pole position – his second grid-topping start of the VW Cup season – but was edged back to second through the first turn by Lines.Holding second place throughout lap one, Caygill was sandwiched in a very tight top three battle and on lap two he fell victim to a pass from eventual race victor Stefan Di Resta at Agostini. Running in third, and noticeably losing ground out of the slower corners, the West Yorkshireman experienced a distinct lack of punch from his Scirocco which effectively left him a sitting duck, lap after lap.Working incredibly hard to try and compensate through the infield section, as the race wore on Caygill came under attack on numerous occasions but he raced sensibly and eventually brought the car home in sixth position to bag another healthy haul of points. He concluded the event fourth in the driver standings, just eight points outside the top three. “We properly have been struggling with the top speed of the car, every bit of time you’d take out of someone around the complex you’d then be into a long straight where they undo all the hard work you’ve just done”, explained the 24-year-old, “It’s been a bit frustrating, especially as the lap times on paper are as good as anyone’s really, barring a few tenths on a couple of guys.“With that bit of top end we’re lacking, there’s no reason we couldn’t have been running top three comfortably this weekend. We’re there or thereabouts in every session, we’ve got good consistency with the scoring but I want to start getting on the podium every weekend. That’s got to be the aim for the next round.”Before the next Milltek Sport Volkswagen Racing Cup event, at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium on Saturday, 12th July, Caygill will return to action in the dovetailed pan-European Volkswagen Scirocco R Cup just a few days from now at the Norisring in Germany – round five taking place this coming Saturday, 28th June. “We go out on Thursday to the Norisring, I’m really looking forward to it – racing on a street circuit should be a good do”, he stated, “I’ve never seen the place before, only on the simulator, and I just hope I don’t drive into the wall as many times in real life as I did on the sim! Seriously, it’s going to be good experiencing another new challenge and great to be back in the R Cup.”Visit www.joshcaygill.com for all the latest news and follow him on Twitter @Joshracer14Provisional 2014 Milltek Sport Volkswagen Racing Cup Driver Standings (after Rd8):4th Josh Caygill, 222pts
