"It's my favourite circuit in the UK and I've raced there many times before in
T-Cars and FPA. I'm aiming to win or at least score some good points - my attitude is that if you shoot for the stars you land on the moon."
However, Brundle knows he will face a tough battle for supremacy: "The field has really closed up this season so it's impossible to predict who will be the main contenders next weekend.
"There's a great depth of drivers running at a strong pace so I will be thinking of everybody as competition!"
Alex currently lies seventh in the Henderson Formula Palmer Audi Championship standings, just 13 points adrift of 16-year-old Russian driver Ivan Lukashevich - with over 70 points on offer from
this weekend's three races
at Snetterton.
