Back to North Weald for the second time of the year on an all new layout.
Much more enjoyable layout was used for the first time at this event, having traditionally not done well at North Weald I was expecting to finish a fair bit behind to the two Porsche 911 GT3's battling with a Ferrari 355 and mini cooper works.
The practice runs looked like confirming my suspicions and the most impressive thing about my runs seamed to be the rather heavy right foot at the start line, keeping the marshall entertained with quite a bit more wheel spin than was intended or desirable.
However come the first of the timed runs I managed to find some time and move up to second in class in front of the 997.2 GT3 RS, assuming this was a fluke I was very pleased to see after the second run I was still in second place
However second place wasn't to be as on the third timed run despite improving the GT3 also improved to beat me by just 0.11 seconds, mixed feelings, over the moon to get as close as I did to second place but slightly disappointed I couldn't quite hold onto it.
Can't wait until the next rounds, the strong runs today really has increase the enthusiasm, Can't wait for Goodwood next weekend.
