JSCC Round 3 - Thruxton 17-18 May'25

6/5/2025

Lots learnt both on and off the track!

Another round... another new track and only 45 mins of practice time on the Friday. All went pretty well though and with Ashs' coaching, we found some decent pace.


Quali was good. I was consistent with my best three lap times and managed P10/P8/P8. All over a second quicker than I'd done in practice.

Race 1. P10>P8. Finished P7 on the road but a clerks review dropped me to P8.

Race 2. P8>P9. Finished P10 on the road but was promoted to P9 after a clerks review.

Race 3. P8>P14. Gutted!!!... I'd got up to P7 overall and P1 in the rookies only to get a puncture. I got to the pits under the safety car for a wheel change and after a bit of a delay with confusion over when I could re-enter the track, I avoided the DNF but finished at the back a couple of laps down.

A decent progressive weekend for us overall though and a couple of small bonuses was that I was able to take the novice sticker off Big G and also sign my first autograph!

Congratulations to everyone that made the podium and won the other driver awards. It's also good to know the drivers involved in the shunts are okay.

On to my local track Silverstone in a couple of weeks!

Thank you to everyone at Cursleys : Shelia, Alex, Harvey, @willll_oww on data & Jasmine on media. Also thank you to Jake, Lee, Owen & Alvaro on the spanners for both the Saxos and the Hyundi Coupes. Thank you also to my driver coach Ash for all your advice and particularly for coming back to support me on the Saturday!

Thank you to the Thruxton circuit team and @marshalsuk

As always, none of this would be possible without the amazing support of my family and my partners :
