Oulton Park - 19th July 2014 - TTRS rounds 7 & 8

Rounds 7 & 8 of both TTRS and PBMW were both to be held on a single day, As the last round at Cadwell Park this proves to be a very busy day indeed. Arrived at the circuit on friday night and despite poor weather reports was greeted by glorious sunshine.

However this had all changed by Saturday morning and we face intermittent heavy rain, never good for me as I always seam to struggle with confidence on a wet circuit. Conditions in qualifying we horrendous so was quite content with qualifying 11th Overall out of 22 although 5th in class out of 8 wasn't as good as I'd hoped for. 

A couple of the class F cars who had qualified in front of me didn't make it to the grid for Race 1 meaning I effectively started 9th O/A and 3rd in class. A good start meant I managed to pass Julian Newman in car 170 for 2nd in class although Adrian Tuckley in the class F lead was pulling away, that was until lap 3 when coming round the first corner I saw Adrian having spun. The rest of the race involved trying to keep Julian behind which was a challenge I just about managed to do resulting in my first ever class win and a respectable 8th Overall. 

Race 2 didn't go quite as well, still struggling with the wet weather but without a great start I had to settle for 3rd in class behind Julian and adrian and 14th overall, still good fun but further confirming that me and rain don't get on, maybe some winter track days might be a good idea.
