Aberdeen racers' Mini coachposted in MINI28 | 04 | 2011

CELTIC SPEED Scottish Mini Cooper racers Steven Kerr and Daniel Dreelan will benefit from some expert coaching by multiple Mini champ Oli Mortimer ahead of this weekend's double-header at Knockhill.

The 27-year-old from Edinburgh, currently contesting the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge, will spend time with the Aberdeen duo at the Fife circuit on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Mini double-header at the Scottish Motor Racing Club meeting.

"Both Steven and Daniel are rapidly gaining experience in racing Minis," Mortimer explained, "and I'm just happy to give them some help and guidance which hopefully will make them go even quicker."

With the St Cyrus-based Celtic Speed team also travelling to Thruxton this weekend for the latest double-header in the Porsche Carrera Cup, preparation for the team's two Minis has been handed over to Edinburgh-based Tynecastle Garage under the watchful eye of David Kerr.

This is the same combination which looks after Mortimer's Tynecastle Racing Team Porsche.

Mortimer (pictured) is currently second in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge. The Scot won the opening two rounds at Brands Hatch and finished second in the latest round at Croft, despite failing to finish the opening race at the Darlington track when his Porsche suffered a radiator problem.
