Starting P3, left hand side of the track, with the inside line to the first corner ! My first thoughts were if I can get the jump on Matt lining up beside me and try and stay with Jack and Mike, and I know they have an abundance of experience at the track and I had a grand total of 8 laps prior to this weekend. Lights out, and nailed the start, managed to pull outside Jack on the inside of the run to the first corner and gain the lead, with him hot on my bumper and making sure I paid for every single mistake we were nose to tail for 2 laps, on the first 2 laps we managed to pull a gap of around 5.5 seconds from the rest of the pack coming onto the start finish straight for the beginning of the of the 3rd lap, Jack and I were alongside each other from the last corner to the 1st only separated by 0.018 of a second, I had the inside line however Jack was on the faster line having to back out to make the corner Jack too the lead and buggered off into the distance at a fair old rate ! I had around a 6 second gap to 3rd place which was being fought out between dick and Jon and Mike , which could see in the distance in my mirrors, with this in mind I tried to get some consistent fast laps on and to work on my lines, however the early push with the tyres proved too much and by lap 5 they were shot ! I nursed the car as best I could however was being consistently caught up by Mike who at the 🏁 only finished 0.6 of a second behind! Enjoy!
