Race report: Donington National



What a weekend itโ€™s been! All the hard work is starting to pay off! First of all I want to say a huge thank you to all my team, family, friends, sponsors for all of the support and believing in me, Now we are so close ๐Ÿค๐Ÿผ that one extra hard work put in from my side of things will see us at the top ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป


Thursday ๐Ÿซ 

After we set up I had do finish building up my bike which was essentially built up out of a parts bin ๐Ÿ˜‚ we are calling him Frankenstein ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿคฃ I worked till 2 in the morning trying to sort out little issues, then when u I was wrapping the farings I accidentally burnt my hand badly on the heat gun.


FRIDAY ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Fp1 - was just a session to check the bike over and make sure it was okโ€ฆ it wasnโ€™t, the gear lever fell off making me miss half the session however we managed a few laps, discovering the gearing and suspension was wrong.


Qualifying - Went out and did about 5 laps and came in as I had a problem with brake fade and saying something is wrong with the gearing to the team, as I go back out on my first lap I hear the bike go really loud so I had to back it off for the last few laps as the exhaust clamp had blown off. When I came in we discovered a oil leak alsoโ€ฆ bringing it home in p12 going about 3 seconds quicker from this morningโ€ฆ HOWEVER the gearing that was meant to be changed we discovered after my track map that someone in the team (dad) ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜‚ had put the same gearing back on ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™ˆ so diddnt do too bad considering.

Thank you to the Chris at True heroes racing for helping out.


SATURDAY ๐Ÿ‘Œ

RACE 1 โฌ‡๏ธ

Start P12

Finish P7


Overall I was happy to get a finish under my belt especially with having such bad luck at the first round. a leaking exhaust and glazed over pads, a couple other issues aswell which dad worked all night with no sleep to try and iron out all of the problems.




SUNDAY ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Warm upโฌ‡๏ธ

We had tried a different set up and I diddnt like it so we decided to change it back to what I had in race 1.

P10


RACE 2 โฌ‡๏ธ

Start - P6

Finished - P4 ๐Ÿค๐Ÿผ



What a race, brilliant battles for P3, I felt I had the pace to pull away but some dodgy moves from a rider meant I couldnโ€™t then unfortunately got pushed out wide again and got passed by 5 riders with 2 laps to go putting me in P7 managed to pick them off one by one and got myself up to P4 couldnโ€™t ask for more from my first weekend back on a Frankenstein bike ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ


I want to say a huge thank you to all the guys who have got me here!
