Race 1 @ Mallory Park

After a decent qualifying putting us on the front row for both races we were confident that our pace was strong and we were ready to continue the battle for the championship.

Initially the start was pretty poor off the mark but we soon got back into the race and made progress from 4th to 2nd within 1 to 2 laps. On lap 2 we broke the lap record by over 8 tenths and got the fastest lap of the race. Unfortunately a small collision on lap 3 caused a leak on our radiator forcing us to retire immediately.

It's not ideal and frustrating when we had so much pace early on, however we kept our heads focused, fixed the leak and headed into race 2...

🏁🏎️ Yokohama Locost Round 3 Recap Croft

🌟 What an adrenaline-fueled weekend we had at Croft. Here’s a more detailed rundown:

🚥Qualifying🚥:
Saturday morning came with its own set of challenges. I had not been out at Croft since 2021, so I went into qualifying with a blind setup. The first couple of laps were all about re-familiarizing myself with the circuit. It was like rekindling an old friendship. Eventually, I managed to put in some strong laps, which secured me a front-row start at P2 for Races 1 and 2, right next to the flying Todd Boucher. 🌪️

🔥Race 1🔥:
The race started positively as Todd and I broke away from the pack early on. However, the battle was put on hold when my clutch decided to take a short break. Fortunately the safety car came out a few laps later, which bunched us back up. With one lap to go, it was a cat-and-mouse game. I tried to find a gap in the last few corners, but it wasn’t meant to be. We crossed the line in 2nd place. Onward!

⚡Race 2⚡:
We fine-tuned the car including addressing clutch and gearbox issues. With high hopes, we aimed to break away in the early laps. However, Todd put together some stellar laps and used the tow to slingshot past me on the back straight. Little did we know, the safety car would make an encore appearance a few corners later, leading us to the chequered flag with another 2nd place finish.

🌪️Race 3🌪️:
This one was a roller coaster! We stormed into the 1st corner in the lead, with Todd in hot pursuit. A red flag caused by a crash brought a temporary halt. On the restart, I had the best start of the season. But, the engine was starting to feel like a sauna. 🌡️ Even with temperatures over 100°C, we built a 1.5-second lead. However, with 2 laps to go, Todd began to close in. My engine, now lacking power, couldn't hold him off, and we finished 2nd for the third time.

🎉Reflections🎉:
Though the top step of the podium eluded us, this weekend was a triumph. We bagged solid points for the championship and are feeling invigorated with 3 of my favourite circuits left. We've identified areas for improvement and are chomping at the bit for the next race.

📘 Regarding Tuitions 📘:
A quick note - I won’t be available for tuitions at Snetterton the Friday before race weekend. But please don't hesitate to get in touch, and we can arrange something that works for you.

Thank you all for the continued support at the track and back at home!

Thank you Team Sellars Racing and Paul Land for providing me with yet again a great car and a strong legal engine as always.
