Tim Harvey (Centre) is looking to take the fight to Bridgman

The reigning champion in the Porsche Carrera Cup of Great Britain, Tim Harvey, will use the seven week mid-season break to find the extra pace that is required to take the fight to Tim Bridgman, who currently heads the championship table by three points.  

The Redline Racing driver is the most experienced competitor in the current field. He has an impressive and unrivaled record and the Brit is hoping that his experience will help him and his team find the two or three tenths of a second that will give him the edge when the action resumes at Snetterton for Rounds 11 and 12 of the season on 1st and 2nd August.

“Clearly Tim Bridgman, with pole for every race, has had the best pace and we’ve been a little bit off our pace from last year,” said Harvey. “I’m lacking two or three-tenths generally in qualifying. My season so far has been only one win and not really the outright pace.”

He added; “We’re using the summer break to do some testing and try and have a stronger second half to the season.”

“I’m doing okay in the points by dint of some strategic driving and getting the best results I can out of the races. But I haven’t felt in contention to win races, apart from at Thruxton, and Thruxton is a bit of a one-off circuit. I haven’t yet achieved what I want to achieve in terms of race pace. But points-wise, it’s been quite good.”

Harvey is confident about his chances at the Norfolk circuit and he is hoping it will be the beginning of a stronger second half of the season.
