Quali : P6, P5 & P5 . Consistent times and just missed out on P5 in race 1 by 17/1000ths!
Race 1: P6>P7 (P4 rookies). Not a great first lap. Lost places to Max & Leon. I stuck with them though and got past Max with around five minutes left on the clock. I was all over the back of Leon for the rest of the race and nearly got my nose in front in the run to the line. Race 2: P5>P6 (P3 rookies). Not the best of starts saw me lose a place to Louis on the first lap. Ollie ahead had an issue and was forced to retire. I was all over the back of Louis looking for the move when the safety car was required and bunched us all back up. A single lap shoot out saw me go for it down the inside into the last chicane. It didn't come off, compromised my exit and I lost momentum which allowed Max to get past in the run to the line. Race 3: P5>P5 (P2 rookies). I had the pace to stick with Ollie and even when I made a mistake and the gap pulled out to almost a second, I managed to get back on his bumper and keep the pressure on. Our battle pulled such a gap to the battle behind for P6 that my first 5 second track limits penalty didn't affect my final position. Overall, my race pace is getting there but there's still work to do! Massive thanks to the team @cursleymotorsport : Alex, Sheila, Harvey, Will, Jake, Lucas & Aaron, for everything through the weekend. Big shout out also to my driver coach @_ashmiller and also to @28lucastaccini_racing for their support and advice both on and off the track!

Best wishes to @martinwrightracer for a speedy recovery.
