We have completed the 3-race weekend at Calabogie in the Radical Canada series. This weekend had 21 competitors, which is a huge turnout! It was a tough weekend, came with a few ups and down, we learned a lot and had some great racing.
Results:
Race 1: started P13, finished P8; Race 2: started P12, finished P10; Race 3: started P9, finished P7.
Giant thanks to Chris and Travis for their hard dedication this weekend!
The long story:
Qualifying was awful yielding P13 for Race 1 and P12 for Race 2. Race 3 start position was determined by finishing position of Race 2.
In the first race we got off to a good start, but spun out in the fastest corner 11 minutes in dropping to P19. Fought back to finish in P8.
Race 2, starting 12th, tried some new car settings, really struggled with rear grip, which made for a fun sideways driving experience. Finished 10th.
Race 3, started 9th place. The track was very different in the afternoon from the past 2 days getting hot and slippery. It made for a challenging drive.
All in all, we worked hard, got some new valuable racing experience. 21 Radicals on grid in class was dream competition!
