Snetterton - 12th July 2015 - PBMW Rounds 5 & 6

Rather unfortunately after a glorious sunny day on Saturday there had been a fair about of rain through the night and the PBMW qualifying started on a wet and slippery circuit. Finished the 15 minute qualifying session in a respectable 12th position out of 33, better than I often ran in the wet.

Race 1 started well, the weather had dried up and I got a great start. I was up to approximately 8th position when turning into turn 1, a slight miss judgement on my part saw me cut across Matt Wileman but wasn't far enough in front, tiny tap sent me off the circuit.


Luckily I managed to rejoin, and had a great run through the field to finish 16th, not the result I was after but was a lot of fun. Looking at the TSL timings my fastest lap time of 2:27.268 was up there with a number of the top 10 finishing cars.

Having made strong progress I was looking forward to the second race of the weekend, until the heavy rain began to fall about an hour before we were due to head out. Again I got a reasonable start but struggled with visibility and fell back to 17th, most of the race was spent desperately trying to keep the car on the circuit. had a fun clean race with Steve Turtill I did feel I could have gone slightly quicker but despite managing to get along side a couple of times could quite get passed.
