Saturday Test day

It was cold and wet but dried up after dinner. In the first session I had no grip but it was red flagged because of an accident, in the second session i scrubbed in some new wet tyres ready for race day but we didnt use them because it was dry. After dinner we got to test on slicks and fine tuned the handling ready for race day.

Sunday, race day

It was cold but dry for once, 3 lap practice went well and i was 3rd quickest

Heat 1
I started 12th and i made up 6 places on the first lap and during the race I managed to pass a couple more to finish 4th .

Heat 2
In started 17th and had a good start again and worked my way through the field to finish 7th

A Final

I qualified 8th and at the start I had to go on the grass to avoid a spinning kart and it dropped me to the back of the field, luckily for me the race was red flagged and we had a re-start which was a lot better, i moved into 5th by turn 2 but at turn 3 i was hit from behind and pushed wide and lost a few places, a few laps later the same thing happened at the same turn and i lost a few more. On the last lap I overtook Callum Lott at the end of the straight but at turn 2 he got a run on me up to turn 3 and got back past me, at the chicane i made another move on Callum but gave him too much room for him to hold his line and I ran wide on the rumble strip on the exit which slowed me down and i lost 2 more places to finish 13th which was dissapointing because I had been going really well over the weekend and was aiming to finish in the top 5.
