Alain Menu has expressed his desire to carry on competing in the British Touring Car Championship with BMR Racing despite an indif꧙ferent return to the series in 2014.

BTCC champion in 1997 and ꦡ2000, Menu's comeback campaign has been defined by a series of bad luck but the Vo🌸lkswagen CC driver has shown flashes of his best form, most notably with podiums at Rockingham and Silverstone

Indeed, that tough luck made its presence felt for the Brands Hatch finale when Menu looked set🌠 to challenge for a famous retur✃n to pole position in the tricky conditions but an untimely red flag quickly scuppered his hopes.

His weekend didn't get much better and was caught up in the chaotic opening lap melee at Paddock Hill before making an unforced error at the same corner which ultimately ended his weekend with a heavy crash.
Menu admitted that his race two crash was indeed his fault on cold tyres a♑t the beginning of the race.

"In the first race I was unlucky in the wrong place at the wrong time at Paddock Hill bend. I had a good race then to come back from last to finish 13th," Menu told mahbx.com.

"Race two was my fault on the cold tyres. Nobody touched me or anything when I spun. It's a shame that I've saved my only real mistakes for the last weekend. But in a way again it sums upღ my season!

"I think my team mates shownꦑ that the car was competitive. Jack [Goff] was unlucky in race three. He was comp🐬letely fogged up but Aron [Smith] did a good job again. For sure the car was good enough for a podium."

Mishaps aside, Menu - who ended the year classified in 11th placeꦫ overall - remains happy with his performances this season and hopes the hard work achieved with BMR can be utilised next season under his direction with a race seat role.

"My performance I'm happy with, putting the final round aside of course - I'm notღ 👍happy with myself for those mistakes! I'm happy with the job I've done over the season; I've just been unlucky on the race weekends," Menu continued.

"Next y𝔍ear, I would like to be back. It would be nice to capitalise on the hard work the team have and driveꦏrs have put in this season.

"We will see but nothing has b꧋een confirmed yet as there are quite a 𒐪few things going on in the paddock at the moment. We just have to wait and see!"

Team BMR has already confirmed Smith - 🐻a two-time race winner in 2014 - will remဣain on board for another year.
