Cadwell Park

Signing off from Cadwell Park.
It definitely lived up to the hype and the classic British summertime weather played its part.
All of the practise sessions were dry and then typically it chucked it down for qualifying Saturday morning. The standing water was ridiculous and unfortunately a tiny lapse in concentration and I was in the wall. Luckily, it wasn’t too bad, the boys patched me up and I was back out. We were on a great lap and then the dreaded red flags came out, resulting in us qualifying P4. I knew this was going to be tricky a weekend from there.

Race one later that afternoon was still wet, and the officials decided to start the race behind the safety car. Slotting into 4th after the start, we had a great battle for p3, getting through just as my windscreen decided to completely fog up and I tip toed to the checkered flag. I was still over the moon to have moved forward on a track that is super tricky to overtake on.

Race two, I made a great start taking the lead into the first corner, then set out building a gap to the cars behind. It was super tricky to push in the wet conditions without making any mistakes, but we held on to take our first win of the weekend!

Race three, again, we made a great start to take the lead and kept it for a few laps, having a great battle with the car behind. Unfortunate contact resulted in a half spin from myself. We dropped too far back to challenge for the win but had built up a gap to the cars behind to hold on to p2. We limped home to complete a great weekend.

On a weekend where cars were dropping like flies, you had to be on it every corner of every lap. I am super chuffed with the whole team. Without them and the hard work they all put in week in, week out, I would be nowhere.

We now move to the penultimate round of the championship at Brands Hatch in September. It’s going to be a big one!

Hopefully see some of you there.

Catch ya later
