Brands Hatch Round 1
We have been looking forward to this for a long time and finally the time had come.
With Friday practise underway Luke building his pace nicely until a turbo issue prematurely ended our progress. Session two was also cut short due in incidents on track, but we were happy with our pace and looked forward to qualifying on Saturday.
Qualifying wasn't too bad Luke ending up 15th for race 1 and 16th for race 2, a mere 6ths of pole position.
Race 1 - Just as the cars made their way to the pits the heavens opened giving all the mechanics an extra job putting on the wet tyres. Luke had an ok start loosing a place off the line then got over taken under a yellow flag when the pace car came out. Once the race got back under way he set about passing cars lap after lap up to 11th then a mega battle finishing 0.029s ahead taking a fine 10th place. A fantastic drive, his pace was as fast as the leaders, great first race.
Race 2 - After the ups of Saturday we had the downs of Sunday due to a gearbox issue, making it all but impossible for Luke to do anything but keep going as best as he could and collect the points for finishing. However our teammate Sam Osborne was on fire on Sunday and drove superbly from 19th finishing a fine 12th. We now move on to Donington next week where the Kingsley Clio's will be back in action fighting their way to the front of the grid. Huge thank you to our race Team Ciceley Motorsport, and all our sponsors.
