First race of the season 3 Sisters Club circuit

Test day (Saturday)

It was cold and wet but at least it wasnt raining. My first test session didnt go too good, my dad had adjusted my brakes and I found it hard to get used to them,
every time i touched them i kept locking up coming into the corner so in that session i wasn’t that quick, in the next sessions i got on the pace and went faster and faster each time as the track dried up.
In the 5th session our team stayed on wet tyres and most of the others went on slicks, the wets were miles faster than slicks and Will, Johnny and me came in 1st, 2nd and 3rd, Will was the quickest. We then changed to slicks for the last 2 sessions.

Race day (Sunday)

It was colder and wetter than Saturday and it rained all day long

Heat 1, 8 laps
I lined up on the grid in 19th place and had a bad start and lost a couple of places, but gained them back within a few corners. I made my way through the field to finish 4th and get the fastest lap on the way, my dad was very pleased so he gave me £5 to spend in the cafe.

Heat 2, 8 laps
The heat was delayed because there was a power cut at the track so we had an early dinner. I started 3rd and soon moved into the lead but on the last lap i was nudged from behind and i lost a bit of time and dropped to second place.

Heat 3, 8 laps
I started 27th on the grid and on the start i gained some places but then got held up in traffic, i managed to get through it but i had lost too much time dilly dallying so i only managed a lonely 11th.

Final, 12 laps
I qualified 4th, on the start I moved into 2nd place by the first corner, but at the hairpin I had understeer so it made me run a bit wide and over the 12 laps i lost some places and finished 5th just over a second behind the leader.

Trophy presentation
I was given a trophy for 'Performance of the day' and one for 5th place.
