Donington from Sunday 16th September - CSCC Future Classics race (40 min) - which we ran 2 drivers.

I can be seen battling with a 944 from 5 mins until I finally have an off at about 10:30.

What's the view on my move at 08:50, where I follow a lapping car through, then get a knock for being cheeky...? scratchchin

Not cheeky - entirely legitimate - paid him back for being so defensive through old hairpin! If you could only get rid of some of that understeer, you'd have been even quicker.

Indeed, he's left the door open to let the faster car through when he didnt have to.

If he'd made that move on anyone from my series the result would have been a Porsche pointing backwards tbh.

Knockhill 23rd September


Race 1 - Started 3rd, finished 2nd
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYd_0_gRvk4

Qualified 4th, good start slotting in behind Tim then passing him along railway to chase after Kenny Brewster in 2nd. Looked like he was going to dive to the right and defend out the hairpin, but he didnt, and I had already committed to the outside, so we went rallycross for a bit. Try again next lap and job done on the cut back. 2nd place & 1st in the newcomers.


Race 2 - Started 2nd, finished 7th
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxkgjf0L8Is

Started on the front row along side David Sleigh, went up the inside in to the lead on lap 1 at MacIntyres. Threw it off at Clarks on cold tyres (mixed with some stupidity) then got muscled out at the hairpin. Missed a gear rejoining to complete the place losing spree.

Took a lunge up the inside of Shane Stoney at Clarks trying to work my way back up the field and collected him. It was a desperate move and one I appologised for, both to Shane and then the officials in the Clerk of the Courses office. Result was bent steering and a bent damper, with the car handling like a pogo-stick, Ross Wylie managed to grab the inside at the hairpin and nudge me out dropping me back down the order. Managed to rescue 7th off Kenny Brewster at the line and with the grid draw, secured 2nd on the grid for the final race.


Race 3 - Started 2nd, finished 1st
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNYrY53CjAQ

Started 2nd on the grid along side Kenny Brewster. Smoked him off the line and tried to run away with it. The damaged damper from Race 2 wasn't impacting the car too badly as Team Sleigh had completely re-aligned my car but I wasnt able to break away.

Mid way through the race Shane Stoney caught me and it was a defensive race from there to the flag. Race win, delighted!

SMRC Season Finale at Knockhill - 7th October 2012

Race 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhLHboK1ARc

Started 3rd, good start, help position until lap 2. Ross Wylie dived up the inside at the hairpin and, knowing this would end with me in the gravel, I backed out to only lose 2 places rather than 4 or 5. Chasing Ross and Steven Brewster I followed them through past David and Tim Sleigh. Probably could have mounted a better challenge for 2nd if I hadn't mucked up the safety car restart. Happy with 3rd, exactly what I needed for the championship(s).


Race 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkeSDXXQ_HU

Started 3rd, dropped to 5th after Ross Wylie in pole had a poor start. Under pressure from Lewis Grant for the first few laps as the pack bunched up, briefly dropping back to 6th but picking back up to 3rd before the safety car came out. Next out came the red flag, on the restart, I had a poor start losing 3rd to Tim Sleigh but he had to pull over to reset the car's electrics allowing me back in to 3rd and chased Steven Brewster home.


Race 3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI2DkQdmPOk

Started 3rd on the grid, dived past Tim Sleigh on lap one in to MacIntyres and set off after David Sleigh. David let me through to chase the win and seal 3rd overall in the championship.


Season results:
- 3 all out championship wins
- 9 championship podiums
- 10 newcomers wins
- 19 newcomers podiums
- 3rd overall championship
- 1st newcomers championship

Videos from each race in our final round at Donington last weekend. Despite knocking 5.3 seconds off my best time in Friday's free practice, I was still last in class for Races 1 and 3 - but the outcome of Race 2 was, er, different. Very nearly didn't get to race at all on Sunday - the fog didn't lift until 12:30.

The DNF clobbered my Championship points too - dropped from 10th (which I'd have been pretty chuffed with) to 13th (which I'm not!). Plus I've yet to get the bill for the respray...

Bit of a different view this one, nicknamed "cabincam" showing the driver in action.

Video is an early lap from the Birkett 6Hr relay this last weekend on the Silverstone Historic GP Layout.
