JSCC Round 8 - Snetterton - More valuable wet racing experience

17/9/2025

0 Comments

 
Qualifying  (Dry) :   P5 & P4.    (P2 & P1 rookies)   My best qualifying of the season so far.   The pace is getting there!
​
Race 1 (Dry) : P5>P6  (P3 rookies).  Race start was good but a red flag caused us to re-grid.   The restart was okay but then a couple of mistakes on the opening lap caused me to drop three places.   I got my head down, battled hard and managed to pull back a couple of places to finish P6.   

Race 2: (Wet) : P4>P6 (P3 rookies).  A slow wet start and then drifting wide in the opening corners of the first lap again cost me a couple of  places.   On the next lap, side contact pushed me wide and cost me momentum and another place.  I pulled one of them back but I was maybe a bit too cautious in the wet conditions and should have gone for moves that were definitely on for P5.

Overall, still a decent weekend.  It was good to get some more wet racing experience, particularly in the new car and my quali pace was mega.   More racecraft work needed but we'll keep pushing!

Massive thanks to the team, Cursley Motorsport : Alex, Sheila, Harvey, Will & Lee for everything through the weekend.      Big shout out also to Ash Miller & Jonathan Moore for their support and guidance both on and off the track!   

Thank you also to JSCC, BARC, MSUK and the Snetterton Marshals and circuit team.

It was great to meet Guy from Track Tiles, who is our latest 2025 partner.

Congrats to everyone that made the podium and got the other driver awards. 

Mega props to my new teammate, Ben Ward, in his first race meeting.

None of this would be possible without the support of my family and my partners, TalkHSE, Camuri, Ashley James, SD Designs & Track Tiles

Next up, Oulton Park again in just under a month.

New Partner Focus : Track tiles - Build Together, Race Forever.

16/9/2025

It all started in 2023, whilst Guy's son was playing with his toy cars.   As a lifelong motorsport fan, Guy sketched out a track on pieces of paper and the concept of Track Tiles was born.     What started as a playful idea has evolved into a unique modular magnetic toy race track builder that inspires imagination in children and adults alike.  

Guy has designed the toy from the ground up.  Many prototypes have been created and tested by his son and other family members until he found the ideal product for kids (and adults) to use and enjoy. CAD drawings have been completed and now he is looking to take the next step. 

🏎️💡 STEM Learning Made Fun!
Track Tiles isn’t just playtime – it’s hands-on learning! From exploring physics and motion to designing tracks like real engineers, your child builds critical Science, Technology, Engineering & Math skills every time they click a tile.
🧠 Perfect for curious minds.
🏁 Powered by imagination.
🎯 Built for STEM.

To help Guy and the Track Tiles team bring this product to market, please sign up to the mailing list on their website www.tracktiles.co.uk 

Any support the wider motorsport community can give the Tracktiles Team would be massively appreciated.   Investment is very much welcomed but any advice or support in other areas (production/finance/marketing/sales promotion) would be mega!     Please reach out to Guy directly, or via us if you can help or want to find out more!

Let's make this dream a reality!   Please like, share or repost to spread the word!
