Oulton Park round 2, races 3, 4 and 5 of the Ginetta GT Protyre Chamionship.
Saturday 23rd did not go to plan. Qualification p9 (p4 in AM class). Pushed a bit too hard before the tyres were ready and ran wide onto the grass. In the heat the grass collected meant engine heat too much and car went into limp mode and into the pits.
Race 1. Had a good start, but almost immediately took a hit that put out the tracking. Fighting to turn left but kept pace with the pack, doing my fastest laps of the weekend throughout going into last lap in p6, and p2 on AM class got taken out be a bad rejoin from the grass by the car behind and suspension went less than 30 seconds from the chequered flag, DNF. Hard one to take.
Monday 25th May do much better.
Race 2. The heat was unbelievable, and quite a bit of the race was under the safety car. But it came good with my first podium with a P2 in the AM class, P7 overall.
Race 3. Even hotter. Another good race, without over pushing a hot engine, and a second podium P3 in AM Class, p8 overall.
Overall making good progress in the Championship, feeling more and more comfortable in the car.
