Clio Cup Rounds 5 & 6

Clio Cup Rounds 5 & 6

After the disaster of Donington we have a new stunning livery in Wera Tools and a new circuit to learn.
Not only is this a circuit he has never been to, its also the fastest most daunting circuit in the country. 
No practice straight into Saturdays qualifying, the first half of the session Luke getting used to track very quickly and running in 6th position, absolutely awesome performance. As the session went on he ended up in 15th place, mainly due to the other teams having their drivers slip streaming each other gaining an advantage, realistically we were half a second of pole, a seriously impressive debut.
 
Race 1, starting 15th Luke had a great start and made his way into 8th, only to bang wheels and knock out his steering forcing him to take it easy and just bring the car home and finish the race.
 
Race 2, managed to miss all the mayhem then from 15th finished a fine 10th, until, a we got hit with a 30sec penalty for supposedly jumping the start, oh well that's racing, still, was a good race. 
Luke drove exceptionally well and thoroughly enjoyed battling with the drivers at the front of the pack. 
 
Our results do not show how well Luke drove, next up is Oulton Park a circuit we do know. This will be exciting..
