WSR ‘working very hard’ on fourth car but stays as a trio for Brands

West Surrey Racing boss Dick Bennetts says the team continues to ‘work very hard’ to put a fourth car on the grid ‘as soon as possible’ but the team will remain with three BMWs for Brands Hatch this weekend.

WSR’s leading lights Jake Hill and Colin Turkington scored a trio of podium finishes at the Donington Park season opener last month, the duo also never finishing outside the top five.

Adam Morgan was in the points in all three races, but the Lancashire racer only picked up two top tens with a brace of sevenths in the second and third races of the day.

WSR Team Principal Dick Bennetts says that the consistent start ‘validated’ the team’s off-season efforts, but that the outfit wants to take wins this weekend.

The New Zealander also confirmed that they will again only run three BMWs, although the team continues to work to get a fourth 3 Series on the grid this year.

“Donington represented a good start with three podiums and nine finishes for the three BMWs,” said Bennetts.

“It validated the effort the team has put in over the winter to enhance the performance of the cars and gives us a lot of confidence that we can challenge for wins and podiums this weekend on a circuit that should suit us.

“While at the track we’ll be doing all we can to take BMW to the top step of the podium, we’re also working very hard to put our fourth car on the grid as soon as possible.”
