The AmDTuning.com team will seek to break into the top ten for the first time this season when the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship heads for Donington Park this weekend for the second round of the year.The West Thurrock-based team enjoyed a solid start to its campaign at Brands Hatch over the Easter weekend, with new signing Mike Bushell coming away from the weekend sitting pretty at the top of the Jack Sears Trophy standings.The Tunbridge Wells racer makes the trip to Donington with a 14 point lead in the JST standings having taken his first rookie win of the season in the final race of the weekend at Brands Hatch – where he also fell just shy of securing his maiden top ten finish.Buoyed by his performance at Brands Hatch, despite admitting to not feeling at one with his Ford Focus for a large part of the weekend, Mike now heads for the East Midlands circuit eager to push forwards into the top ten – with the aim being to strengthen his lead amongst the eight rookies on track while also improving his overall championship position.“I really want to build on my performance at Brands Hatch, and one of my main targets is to try and close the gap in qualifying,” he said. "If I’m being honest, I was a little disappointed in qualifying at round one but we’ve worked on the car since then and hopefully we’ll be in a position to fight for more silverware."We’ve got a better understanding of some of the handling issues we had been suffering, and I’m confident that Russell [Paddon – race engineer] and the guys have come up with a solution that will allow us to be even more competitive. We came close to a top ten at Brands and if we can get ourselves into the right position in qualifying, I see no reason why we can’t achieve that this weekend.“It’s also important to make sure we get some strong finishes for the Jack Sears Trophy and I think it’s great that we’ve been given our own points classification. It gives all of the rookies a target to aim and fight for, and hopefully we’ll be able to maintain our position out front.”Team boss Shaun Hollamby admitted that some of the team’s focus in recent weeks had been on qualifying in order to try and start the weekend in the best possible position, with confidence high of a strong points scoring run during the second meeting of the year.“We’ve been through the data from both Media Day [at Donington Park last month] and Brands Hatch, and based on the Mike’s feedback, we have made some changes to the car to make it work more to his style and also to improve it as a whole,” he said. "We’ve used the gap to go through the engineering of the car to help us push forwards towards the top ten, although we know it won’t be an easy thing with the high level of drivers on the grid. We were close at Brands, and now want to move to the next step.“The times are so close that track position is key and it follows that the higher up you are at the start, the better your chances are. With that in mind, some of our work has focused on qualifying and one lap pace, but Mike also goes to Donington with a extra weekend’s worth of experience under his belt, and hopefully that will also help us move forwards from a solid season opener.”
