Snetterton round 7 & 8 28th - 29th JulyWell well well, what a weekend! Back to the old racing format where we get two 55 minute test sessions and two full races which both count for the championship. Testing didn't go well as we were down in 16th position. We made some slight changes to the car overnight all set for qualifying. Qualifying. 20 minutes of qualifying saw me stick in both the quickest and the 2nd quickest time which meant I was on pole for both races! Great turn around Race 1. I got a great start from pole position and managed to hold the lead for the full 12 laps being under immense pressure from series leader Stefan Hodgetts. I kept my nerve and took the victory to secure my first British podium of the year and my first win in the British Clio cup. I was over the moon with he job the team had done and delighted I got my long overdue win! Race 2. Starting from pole again I got to the first corner in the lead before a big accident behind caused a red flag and a race restart. On the restart Robert Lawson got the jump on me off the line and got into the lead. I was pressuring him for the whole race but just couldn't get close enough to mount a serious challenge. At the flag I was in 2nd place. An excellent weekend for both me and the team. I'm now up to 4th in the drivers standing and well in contention for a top 3 spot.. 30 July 07 |
