Half test day on Thursday, 2nd time at the circuit since last year. Beating my fastest lap time by 6 seconds.

Race results :
1 - DNF, sadly due to weather conditions and going out on the wrong tyres. Started on dry, by lap one the rain came in so pulled in after red flag.
2 - Started 27th on the grid, finished 17th overall and 7th in class which was mega happy with!
3 - DNF, completed 7 laps however went out on wet front and dry rear, by lap 6 track was pretty dry and felt no grip in the front at all so came in.
4 - Started 18th on the grid, finished 11th overall and 4th in class. Great race! Was happy to end on a high!

Fastest lap time of the weekend was a 2.02.8 which is a personal achievement for me.
