Finished qualifying very please to have finally managed a sub 1 minute lap of brands hatch in a PBMW, actually broke it 4 times in the 15 minute qualifying session. My best time of 59.530 was good enough to qualify 12th, was hoping to for a top 10 but content with 12th, especially as 10th was only a 10th of a second faster.
Race 1
Had a good start and during the first lap managed to get up to 11th but struggled a little with wheel spin and slipped a couple of place back, had a few good battles during the first 1/2 of the race with the 2nd half being dominated by the task of desperately trying to keep Ian Russell behind which I just about managed with us finishing 12th and 13th separated by just 0.437s
Got a fantastic start to race 2, started behind the always fast starting Mark Palmer and for once he didn't pull away like I was standing still. Exited paddock hill for the first time in 9th place, unfortunately lost a couple of places through out the race, mainly seamed to be due to horrendous wheel spin at clark curve causing issues down the main straight, most apparent when Matt Wileman manage to hit the back of the car under acceleration out of Clark corner while I was unable to get grip. Maybe the R888's down't last quite as long as I hoped. The second half of the race was yet again a case of desperately trying to keep Ian Russell behind me and retain 11th place, which I managed by just 0.214 seconds.
