Last season (my first year racing) I qualified 28th (out of 36 on the grid) this year I qualified 10th for both race 1 and race 2 (out of 36 on the grid).

Race 1:

Including an accident on the last lap at brooklands on the final corner before the finish and managing to limp the car across the finish line sideways with rear wheel half off...

Race 2 (with rear cam):

Race 2 involving an epic 3 car battle for the entire race switching positions with each other several times, then getting it on the finish line...

A great scrap in the last race, very entertaining.

From the comfort of my armchair it seemed like you were a little early on the brakes and turn in at Copse but faster everywhere else over the lap. But it should be noted I race a front engined car with very little success so should probably keep my thoughts to myself.

I'm driving there in a couple of weeks so you've whetted my appetite nicely.

Enjoyed watching race 2, glad you added the rear view cam smile

I'm working with Matt this year plus a few other drivers in the MR2s and that last corner crash in race 1 almost took out 3 of my drivers!

I put together a bit of a composite video of the incident using external footage, Matts footage and footage from another of my drivers who came upon the 2 stricken cars.

You can really see from this how bad Matts car was and how close the finish was, still a great drive to 5th in class!
