Matt Neal in a Honda Racing 1-2 in qualifying
On a beautiful summer day, the Honda drivers were the class of the field at Oulton Park with Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal sharing the honours in free practice. The Honda Racing Team continued to show their strength as Shedden and Neal qualified their Honda Civics in 1st and 2nd place for the first race of the day on Sunday.
Andy Neate qualified an excellent 3rd in his Team Aon Ford Focus with Jason Plato 4th for Silverline Racing. The Vauxhall Vectra of Andrew Jordan finished the session in 5th for Pirtek Racing with the Tom Chilton completing the top 6 for Team Aon.
Starting the first race tomorrow from 4th on the grid, Jason Plato is likely to struggle against the might of the turbo-charged cars despite the recent changes to the regulations aimed at creating a level playing field for all classes of cars.
The qualifying session was cut short when oil dropped on the track by Liam Griffin's car caused his Airwaves Racing team-mate Mat Jackson and the Audi A4 of Rob Austin to slide off the track.
