IPKC streak continues: a win and the lap record in my first ever time at Hooton Park!

Heat 1: 7 -> 5
Heat 2: 5 -> 1
Heat 3: cancelled
Final: 3 -> 1 🏆

Saturday was a wet day. I risked it on slicks in one session (and it worked), but otherwise we did not get any meaningful practice in dry conditions for Sunday racing.
So first heat was a bit of a struggle as we were not sure about setup. Much improvement in the second heat: I managed to win it on the last lap and set a new Honda lap record for Hooton Park (41.06)!
Heat 3 was cancelled, as there was a delay due to a non-racing related medical emergency - I trust the spectator is fine.
In the final I took the lead on the first lap and consistently built the gap to the rest of the pack, finishing 10 seconds ahead. 💨

Congratulations to the podium takers

Great seeing - excellent progress! Thanks to for the photos and for your emergency help with the kart!
Onto the Teesside this weekend.
