WSR Aim to Secure Independents Championship at Donington Showdown

04 September 2004

The 2004 MSA Green Flag Touring Car Championship reaches its finale this weekend at Donington Park. WSR team-mates Anthony Reid and Colin Turkington will be battling it out in their MGs to secure the title of BTCC Harrier Zeuros Independent Champion. The only other competitor who can spoil the WSR party is Matt Neal.

Anthony will be one of the busiest drivers on race day. As well as his current BTCC duties he'll also be lining up on the grid for the BTCC Masters race. Commenting on his hectic schedule Anthony said: "I'm hoping to finish the season on a real high. We've made some developments on the car since the last round at Snetterton which we're hoping will improve our performance and bring success. I'm certainly going to be busy, but it will be a great day."

Colin Turkington is currently place 2nd in the Independent Championship standings and only 19 points adrift of Anthony. With some good performances the title is not beyond his reach. Colin said: "It'd be nice to get a win at Donington and finish the season on a high note. Obviously my main priority is the Independents Championship for which I'm still in for a shout. If I can pick up maximum points the title is certainly up for grabs."

Team Principal, Dick Bennetts added: "Our aim at Donington is a one, two in the Independents Championship. It would be great for Anthony to retain or improve his current position in the overall Drivers Championship. A win or two in the final races would be a great way to finish a very successful Independent Championship."
