Daniel Lloyd is seeking consistency and a strong qualifying performance as a precursor to strong results on his debut for MG Triple Eight Racing.
Lloyd, who impressed during sporadic appearances with Eurotech Racing last season, will line up alongside Aron Taylor-Smith in an MG6 after an inconsistent period of winter testing.
The 25-year old is now eager to build upon those performances with the MG’s proven race-winning package.
This weekend is massive for me and my supporters;” commented Lloyd.
“Going into the opening round at Brands Hatch as part of a works-backed team, and representing the MG brand on the grid, is fantastic and I can’t wait to go racing again.
“We had a bumpy start to testing, but the team pulled out all of the stops and turned it around and we’ve managed to get some decent mileage under our belts. The MG is a proven race winning car and we have a great team behind the scenes so we’re going into the opening round in good form.
“The first round is always an interesting one and the new Dunlop tyre has thrown even more into the mix this weekend,” added Lloyd. “Obviously we all know what we’ve been working on but none of us know what the other teams have in the bag, so it’s always a bit of a step into the unknown.
“This weekend is all about consistency and making sure that we qualify well to keep ourselves in the mix. It’s such a competitive grid this year, all points are going to hard-fought but this championship is all about the long-game and I feel sure that we’ll be in amongst the main players.”
