Posted: Fri 03 May 2002

After a sensational start from 12th place on the grid; Aaron Slight drove at a blistering pace to secure 6th place overall and win the Independents cup on only his second BTCC race meeting. The Barwell Motorsport prepared Vauxhall Astra performed perfectly enabling Aaron to overtake Team PSP\'s highly experienced David Leslie and Honda driver Andy Priaulx in 2002 spec. cars.

For the feature race Aarons car had the mandatory success ballast added, which made an impact to his lap times. A good pit stop from the team resulted in a 3rd place finish for Aaron in the Independents cup and 8th overall behind James Thompson\'s Factory Vauxhall Astra.

\"That was a fantastic sprint race. Oulton Park is a complex circuit with very little room for error; so a win here is awesome. The data showed I was just getting faster with each lap as well. Being able to overtake the experienced BTCC drivers and be on the winner\'s podium is fantastic. \" \"Thruxton is next and it should be exciting. I tested there 2 weeks ago and it is FAST!\" Aaron Said.
