LET'S GO! - A championship podium at my first attempt! - DMK Inkart S3 R8

RESULT : A-final P2. Championship P3.

To get a championship P3 in my first full season of inkart was amazing! I started the round in P4 based on the best six rounds so far, just three points behind P3.

No rain for a change! The track was damp but drying. Practice got off to a chilled start as I was leading out of the pitlane. I finished on P4 best lap pace but my overall times were more consistent than the front runners!

Heat 1 - P1>P1. My start wasn’t the best as I quickly shifted to the outside to defend my position and to not understeer into the tyre barriers. After that early moment, the heat calmed down and I brought home P1. Job done.

Heat 2 - P8>P4. Got a couple of positions on the first lap and by the end of the second lap, I was P3. I couldn't hold that position though and dropped back to P4. There was a big battle in front of me for the top three places and although I closed the gap to them, I remained P4.

A-final - P3>P2. Starting P3 just behind Harry, (my rival for championship P3) , I got a decent start but after 2 or 3 laps, I was struggling to find the grip and had lost a place to Ethan. Following Ethan and working with him for a few laps was the best thing as he'd spotted the dry lines earlier than me, particularly in T1. Using those drier lines we caught the front runners. I passed Ethan and started pushing as hard as I could to try to catch Harry. For a few laps I put pressure on Harry making him look back more often. Finally on the penultimate lap, the pressure paid off, as, coming into the second corner, Harry went out wide and I ended up grabbing two places! P1 might have been possible if we had a few more laps but I'd done what I needed to do secure a championship podium and brought home P2.

Congrats to Charley for the A final P1 - an amazing drive from B final winner to win the A final too. Congrats also to Zayn for P3.

Congrats to Tom & Zayn for their championship podiums.

Shout out to Holly and Kyle, who were both involved in big hits on T1 in the B-final. I hope you guys are all okay.

Huge thanks to all the drivers from this season. It's been great fun to race with you all and I really do feel like I've made some great friends over the last couple of months. Thank you to Daytona for putting on a great championship, my family, my sponsors and everyone who supports me through Sponsordriven.
