Race 1, frankly pish qualifying puts me 9th on the grid. Saw off the challenge from Iain Munro early on but could not get past Lewis. He drove an incredibly defensive race which just didn't give me any chances to slip through and we both had to see off Iain again when he caught us because of the slow pace. Bit disappointing really, as lap times show if we'd together we'd both have been able to close in on and challenge Aiden and Micky in 5th and 6th.

Race 2: Best. Start. Ever.

Blasted Lewis off the line and Micky by the first corner, up in to 6th. Safety car came out to pull Lewis out the gravel after someone tapped him round. On the restart got the jump on Kyle and set off after Aiden. Bit of pressuring saw him run wide at Clarks to allow me to slip past along rail way and start chasing the lead quartet. The tussling in front was pretty intense, Vic got run wide through MacIntyres leaving me a perfect opportunity to squeeze through in to Butchers. Couple of laps later Joe and Dave were drag racing up the straight, initially planned to follow Joe through but saw Dave wasn’t going to concede the corner so ducked out of it and squared up my line for MacIntyres where I knew they’d slow each other down big time. Sure enough, passed the 2 of them in to Butchers and then took off after Kenny but there was no catching him with only 2 laps to go. The move on Dave and Joe was the one the commentator was going bezerk over if anyone was there.

Race 3. Not a bad start but Kenny kept it going round the outside at Duffus and slipped in front in to MacIntyres. Took him back with a bit of help from Dave but he managed to squeeze past on the straight in to Duffus the next lap. After Joe got a poor run through the hairpin, Dave got the run on me and after that things became a bit spaced out.

Race 4; Worst. Start. Ever.

The lights held on red for aaaaaaaaaaaages and just as the car started to bog on the revs and I dipped the clutch to bring them back up, the buggers went out! Joe was across in front of me by the time we went under the bridge it was that bad. Defended against Micky for the first couple of laps but Joe slowed through the hairpin at the end of lap 2 and Micky got a run on me without time to move across and cover it so just tucked in behind him to prevent VCJ from moving through as well. Joe and Micky got to business slowing the whole thing down leaving me trying not to let Vic get a move on me and trying not to break anything despite running up their backsides at least twice. With Vic getting swallowed in the battle further back with David and Kenny it gave us a chance to gap but there was just no way through.

Hi Chris, thanks for posting the videos. At the end of the first video, when you're in the pits you said that the wheel bearing was making a load noise. Was it ok or did you wreak it?

[spyderman8]

Not sure yet - could have just been rubbing but it certainly sounded like a bearing to me. Collecting the car Sunday for the GoMotorsport Live show at Silverstone, but unless they're happy to have me tanking round the car park I might not find out! Will leave it to Newbridge Motorsport's better judgement!

Bit of a double post (roadsports) but our view of the race from Donington.

stuff and bits, and some video

Great races there. Looks like a lot of fun. And an NA Cooper seems a lot quicker than I'd have originally thought!

[mattmk391]

Possibly the most enjoyable race I've ever had, a 20 minute four car battle for the lead with a last lap winner from Donington Park MX5 SuperCup.

Not my footage, as I forgot to turn my own camera on (doh!) but well worth a watch:

Videos from my two Toyo Tires BRSCC Porsche Championship races last weekend at a very hot Snetterton.

Race 1 (complete). A slightly poor start let the two Class B Boxster through and I had a really enjoyable race chasing them.

Race 2 (highlights). Not so enjoyable but I was more aggressive, quicker and got my fastest race lap of the weekend. Unfortunately I started to over-drive it and fluff gear changes.

Our next races on 3rd/4th August at Brands - rather hoping for a change in the weather!

Full race footage from the first of my three Toyo BRSCC Porsche races this weekend at Brands. Having had no problems in my rookie year with starting on a slope, for some reason this time round I managed to stall it! I'm in my usual starting place which is about half way through the grid of 30-ish cars - so you imagine what's going through my head!

Turned out to be my most enjoyable race to date - all that overtaking!

Holy crap - what was Marcus thinking?!

[jeffw]

Bet the Evora driver wasn't a happy bunny.....

[hondansx]

No..especially as he came from the European championship so wasn't even racing for points!

Will take a while for Marcus to stop getting a ribbing over that one! Not quite sure what he was thinking, but pretty sure the end result wasn't the intention...

[jeffw]

It was a little 'Kamikaze' to say the least. The Evora lurched towards the camera car after the accident and I thought you where going to be tagged as well. Obviously all started when you overtook Marcus on the exit of Blancimont due to your higher corner speed.

Front wishbone failure coming into Paddock Hill last Friday.
Not the place to have anytype of problem. Thinking process, that doesn't sound right, crap no steering, crap no brakes, crap - this is going to hurt, wow - almost got away with that. Destroyed the offside and front end.

An old one but a good one. Drove the wheels of it all weekend winning both outright which is no mean feet for an Escort against the might of Fiestas.
