Michael Crees scorched to the top seven in the combined classification during the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship’s annual Goodyear tyre test yesterday (13 July) with the CarStore Power Maxed Racing man’s lap time marking the fastest of the Independent runners. After ending the opening day seventh in the Independents and 19th overall, the 38-year-old made marked improvements on day two. Although sitting out the final afternoon, Crees had done enough to conclude the two days of testing as the lead Independents’ Trophy runner and now goes into the second half of the season – which gets underway at Knockhill in Scotland in just over two weeks (30/31 July) – with majorly boosted confidence.
