Jonny heading down to 'Ring of fire MartinBeechdean with Aston Martin Racing driver Jonny Adam is ready to light the touchpaper on his 2012 season when Germany’s famous Nurburgring circuit plays host to the Avon Tyres British GT Championship this weekend May 17-19. Teething troubles with the setup of the brand new Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 thwarted the Fife driver and team-mate Andrew Howard’s chances of fighting for podium positions in the monsoon conditions of the first round at Oulton Park last month – despite qualifying second on the grid. However, the determined Scot believes the ice cream team have put that firmly behind them and are now in a position to lick the opposition by showing their true potential on the continent. “We’ve worked really hard since the first round and our preparation has been first class. “As well as training hard physically we’ve been able to put in some solid hours on the simulator getting to know the layout of the Nurburgring, which has been really useful as it gives us a baseline to work from as soon as we arrive. “I’ve never raced the GP circuit there but from what I can see it should really suit the car, and the sweeping corners should play to its strengths.”
