Well what can I say what a weekend at Brands Hatch GP!
FP1, I completed five laps due to my clutch gasket being kinked and leaking oil. Thank you to Charles Cboyo Reynolds and Kenneth Clifford for the replacement gasket and oil. I was P27 after FP1.
FP2, after fixing the bike I managed to find some pace and ending in P19 after getting pipped on the last lap! I was really pleased with that as last time I was here on my wildcard last year I ended the weekend on a 1.36.8 and on the same bike this year I managed a 1.33.5.
A few changes to make for qualifying, but first, I have to say a huge thank you to Stephen Shepherd for all the help and support and going on a track walk with me on Friday night, ready to know where I can go quicker!
Qualifying was a very good session. I struggled with a few problems, however I just had to ride around them, we were running P18 and then again got pipped two places on the last lap resulting us in a P20 grid slot for the race. Managing to go 0.8 quicker than FP2.
A wet warm up was a lot of fun first time riding on brand new wet tyres. They are awesome and are so much fun in the wet! I finished warm up in P7.
Race
I definitely had the best race of my season so far starting in 20th on the grid and managed to fight my way up to 9th. Unfortunately I binned it coming out of Graham hill bend☹️ Despite this, I am really pleased to show that I have the pace in the wet and I am not far of in the dry too 😉 I'll be up there soon!
Probably not the Fathers Day you wanted Dale Beanz Thomson but there you go 😅 love you dad we will get that top 10 soon.
