RIBCHESTER’S Adam Morgan is hoping to bounce back from a frustrating debut in the British Touring Car Championship when he takes to the track at Donington on Sunday.

Morgan was unable to get any points on the board at Brands Hatch following an opening weekend to forget for the rookie driver.

The former Stonyhurst College pupil was unfortunate to crash out of two of the races and missed the other race because of repairs needed to his car being repaired.

“It couldn’t have gone any worse,” said the 23-year-old.

“Neither of the crashes were my fault.

“I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

After qualifying in 13th place out of 22 drivers, Morgan had a nightmare start in the first race as he was hit from behind and forced out at the first corner.

Morgan was sidelined for the second race as his team, Speedworks Motorsport, went to work on repairing his dam-aged Toyota Avensis. Unfor-tunately, after getting the car fixed, Morgan skidded on oil spilled by another car and was forced out of action for a second time.

Despite the disappointment, there were some positives that Morgan and his team can take going in to this weekend’s meeting at Donington in Leicestershire.

“We had a quick qualifying time and the team worked really hard to get the car ready for the second race,” he said.

Morgan secured a £300,000 place in the British Touring Car Champ-ionship this year, fulfilling a long-held ambition, after winning the Ginetta GT SuperCup series last year.

And he is looking forward to racing at Donington – a place he has fond memories of.

“I did well there last year in the Ginettas,” he said. “It’s a fast track and I prefer the faster ones.

“Hopefully I will have got my debut nerves out of the way and I can put in a good performance.”

Round two of the 2012 British Touring Car Championship will be shown on ITV4.
