Brands Hatch GP - 16th August 2015 - PBMW rounds 7 & 8

After a great day in the BMW compact on saturday, Sunday was time for the 7th and 8th rounds of the Production BMW championship. Saturday had proved to be very worth while in terms of learning the circuit and we headed out to qualifying in a positive mood. The car felt great throughout qualifying with no drama's so I was slightly disappointed to finish 19th out of 37. although the time of 1:54,549 was very close to my previous fastest time around the GP circuit.



Had a fantastic start to race 1 managing to get passed the 2 cars in front before paddock hill and had a terrific race throughout with Gregor Pryor and Ian Shephard , ended up finishing in 15th place with a best lap time of 1:54.083

The start to race 2 didn't go quite as well, I got of the line well but the door was closed to there was no progression, had another close race with Karl Graves and Gregor Pryor . Again finished in 15th place, was annoyed at the lack of penalties handed out to the two drivers in front who both left the track on numerous occasions, I guess that's just the way it goes but if we're going to have rules they should be enforced. Good news came in the form of my best lap time around brands GP in a Production BMW car falling to 1:53.786 and still holding on to 10th in the overall championship.
