Bruce Wilson Oulton Park Review
29 April 2008
Bruce Wilson from Gipsey Bridge near Boston will be greeted with a familiar circuit for the first time this season when he travels to Oulton Park for the second round of the Metzler National Superstock at the weekend. On his two previous outings in the series - Brands Hatch where he qualified for the race, that is now to be run on May 11 in 29th position and Thruxton where he finished in 25th place – Wilson was unfamiliar with the circuit layout, as he had never ridden at either circuit. But having competed at Oulton Park on many occasions he is relieved he doesn’t have to waste valuable testing time learning the circuit.
