Hide AdHickman was disappointed with his results and said: “It was not the weekend we had hoped for with the Global Robots Ltd Smiths Racing BMW.
“It’s safe to say it’s been a bit of a tough weekend.
“Two crashes in practice and qualifying didn’t help and then during the races there were certain areas where the others had an edge, especially in the final sector on the brakes.
“Still it’s been mega to get the first round and some points under our belts.”
The 2.9-mile Snetterton circuit has two long, fast straights.
