BTCC - Herbert targets win on debut
Three times Formula 1 Grand Prix winner Johnny Herbert says he hopes to achieve podium finishes and maybe even a race victory on his debut in the HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship at the Silverstone circuit this Sunday (30 August).
Herbert spent yesterday (Monday) testing the Team Dynamics squad’s Honda Civic that he will drive in Sunday’s three BTCC races. And he believes having a final run before the weekend has enabled him to get on top of the Honda’s behaviour – very different to cars he’s raced in the past in F1 and sports cars – and that he can be in a position to attack at Silverstone.
Herbert from Romford, Essex is synonymous with the world-famous Northamptonshire circuit for it was there in 1995 that he won the British GP – the first of his three very popular wins in F1 in the Nineties.
btcc.net caught up with Herbert after his test yesterday to ask him about this coming weekend when he’ll become the latest former F1 star – others have included Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and David Coulthard – to sample the fender-bending action that makes the BTCC the UK’s most popular motor racing championship.
