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.
