With four meetings to go in the 2016 season, a strong weekend for Goff could see him return to the championship frame as the business end of the season draws nearer. Jack Goff said: “It was just one of those weekends that you have in motorsport. We had a bit of ground to make up after qualifying, but I was sure that three top-10 finishes were possible. Eleventh in race one was a good start from 16th on the grid, but then we had the issue pre-race and that was that.

Register notes - SF April 2015 E-mail: [email protected] Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/MG635Register Twitter: https://twitter.com/635register Welcome to the 635 Register newsletter this month! For the newest of the MG marque, we have been steadily building a following of new owners some of which are existing MG owners and others new to the marque who are extremely impressed by the great value for money these cars are offering. Sales of the MG3 continue to steadily increase with more being seen on the road. So far in 2015, there have been 198 cars registered, which is an increase of 13 over last year. The MG6 facelift is being eagerly awaited and we hope to see a big advertising campaign to promote one of the best kept secrets in the automotive industry to the wider general public. There has certainly been a lot more TV advertising since Christmas, which is great. There has been a flurry of activity with the new 15 plate registrations at the beginning of March. Its great to see so many new owners photographed picking up their cars on the Facebook pages from the sales centre in Longbridge and dealers all around the country. There also seems to be a very noticeable increase in younger owners, which is great for the future of MG. Telford MG has opened a £1-million new showroom in the heart of the town’s ‘motor alley’ and sold a new MG33STYLE to a delighted 21-year-old Alix Lye on the opening day.
