After a messy qualifying which had a red flag then not a single clean lap due to slower cars I had 6th place starts for both races. The first race got off to a good start and I went on to make my way through the field. Some brave overtaking was done with a move round the outside going down the craner curves to take 2nd place and that’s where I finished the race.

The second race got off to a similarly good start and I started to make my way forward. A pass for 2nd place into the last chicane I unintentionally slid the rear into the large curb of the left going onto the straight which after investigation I found caused the front face of the left rear upright to start to break away from the side plate at the weld. This caused large toe in on the left rear upsetting the handling. I managed to keep going with the intension of getting the most points I could and ended the race in 5th. A good result from the weekend means I’m still 2nd in the class championship.

Footage from race one can be seen below:
