In what is considered a ‘Home GP’ for Josh Coppins and the CAS Honda racing team, the reigning British champ posted 6th qualifying time on a spectacular Matcham’s Park circuit today.
“The GP tomorrow is going to be really intense,” explained Coppins. “My last lap of the session was going really well. I had a great first intermediated but then made a mistake in the second half. The truck is really demanding and a lot of guys are capable of running up front. I’m looking forward to racing in front of my fans and I hope to produce a great result.”
