Neal expects a hard fight for win

Matt Neal believes the opening British Touring Car race of the season at Brands Hatch tomorrow will be hard-fought, despite his dominant run to pole. The double champion set a time of 48.210s in his Honda Racing Civic this afternoon, a quarter of a second ahead of Eurotech Racing's Andrew Jordan. He was also well clear of Jason Plato's 48.583s best in the RML Chevrolet Cruze, which was the best normally-aspirated runner in third.
