Hill Wins Dunlop Forever Forward Award for Oulton Park

Picture
RCIB Insurance Racing’s Jake Hill showcased his capabilities as he stormed to the latest Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship #ForeverForward honours – gaining a total of 21 positions in a feisty string of performances over the three rounds at Oulton Park.
​
A busy weekend’s action in Cheshire left Rob Austin at the top of the overall Dunlop #ForeverForward standings after four events, with just one point in it to second placed man Rob Collard who also had a standout weekend at Oulton – carving his way through the pack on three occasions and leaping from 25th to 6th in race three.

Hill went even better though in his Team HARD-prepared Toyota Avensis. Race two was looking promising for the Kent racer, mixing it in the points in 13th before contact with another Toyota, that of Rob Austin, saw him shuffled down the order. This put Hill on the back foot for race three, forcing him to start from 26th on the grid. It did offer up an opportunity for the 22-year-old to slice his way through the pack and he grasped that chance with both hands.

Hill systematically picked his way through the mid-field to an impressive 9th place for his best ever finish in the BTCC, securing the 8th quickest lap of the race in the process. In fact, he crossed the line just 0.9 seconds behind series legend Jason Plato who brought his Subaru home in third.
​
Delving into the RCIB Insurance Racing driver’s season so far, pace and promise has been more than evident. Circumstances have often transpired against the young racer, however.

Hill has often been seen squabbling for top ten finishes – secure points-paying positions – no mean feat in the BTCC.

Bad luck can be attributed as a contributing factor in some of his more impressive drives turning into bitter disappointments.

Running in 10th at the season-opener at Brands Hatch, he suffered a fuel pump sensor problem in race two – a double whammy since finishing in that position would have yielded a reverse grid pole for race three.

At Donington Park, starting from 10th on the grid after a strong performance in qualifying, Hill blasted off the line and into eighth by turn one – past Matt Neal and Jack Goff. However, contact brought proceedings to a halt again for the Tunbridge Wells-based racer with a puncture.

It was a similar story at Thruxton as Hill got caught up in that race-ending melee on the exit of Club – once more putting pay to what was looking like a top-ten finish. Dunlop’s #ForeverForward honours will offer some solace for Hill as he looks to capitalise on the promise he’s shown in 2016 so far.

2 Rob Collard 19
