Wow what a mad weekend! 
Practice was on a Thursday this time around and straight out of the blocks we showed massive promise. In the top 3 for both sessions, I had a great feeling in the car and was super confident of building on this to cement another great weekend.

We opted to roll out late into the qualifying session to put a last min lap in when the track was at its best.
Unfortunately, another car span and I had to back off through the yellow flag sector, resulting in a 6th place. Not too shabby but we all knew it should have been more!

Even starting 6th, I was confident of a good result and forward progress in the Billy Ruffian racing car. You’re not going to believe the next bit! On the warm up lap I felt the car wasn’t handling correctly and was very lively.
Unfortunately, this was the result of a puncture, followed by an exploding tyre and I had to retire the car. Race two believe it or not we also picked up a puncture.

Race three I was fired up, I was going to drag the car across the line punctures or not. Starting from the back we had a great race coming through the field to a great P10. A safety car for the last quarter of the race hampered our progress a tad but I still had a great time.

All in all it was a great weekend meeting some fantastic people and I seriously can’t wait for my home race on the Grand Prix circuit at Brands Hatch in just under two weeks.

See you there!
