Wishing everyone all the best for the last few rounds… shame I can’t make them but already looking forward to next season.

Brands Hatch Superprix 🏎️🏁

This was a bucket list race for me and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

I doubled up on track time by entering the Classic Formula Ford races (pre ‘82 cars) as well as the Historic Formula Ford races (pre’71 cars) as my Titan is a 1971 and qualifies for both categories.

It was an absolute scorcher of weekend with track temperatures in the mid 30’s made all the more challenging by choosing to run the car myself.

We jumped straight into qualifying as it’s not possible to test on the Grand Prix track and was pleased to get P6 in HFF from 28 cars and then further improve my pace to get P3 in CFF from 26 cars.

HFF Race1 was difficult as I had set the tyre pressures too low so we came home in P8.

CFF Race 1 was a strong race securing P4 overall and P2 in class.

HFF Race 2 was the highlight of the weekend as we found more pace from changing the carburetor which resulted in battling from P8 through to P2 clinching the fastest lap in the process. 😎

CFF Race 2 was shaping up to be a great 4 way battle. However, a spin at Paddock Hill whilst going for the overtake unfortunately meant I ended the weekend in the gravel.

All in all, another unforgettable weekend, racing with the

Huge thanks as ever to all the volunteers that make UK motorsport possible 🙏

Another awesome weekend racing the Titan Formula Ford with the 🏎️🏁

We made solid progress after starting a little on the back foot with no testing, managing to qualify P6 from 24 cars.

Race 1 was my first wet race in a Formula Ford and taking on the Craner curves in such slippery conditions was a little spicy, however I somehow managed to keep it pointing in the right direction, whilst moving up to P5.

Race 2 was dry and I was hoping to be able to challenge for a podium but ended up in an epic race long battle for P4 which allowed the leading trio to escape up the road.

The lads at the front are seriously quick in this championship but I’ll be doing my best to get back on that podium next time.

Thanks to team Grant for keeping my car running this year and everyone else involved 🙏
