Thruxton Race Weekend 🏁

A promising weekend at our home circuit, closing the gap ever so slightly in the championship. We could've been leading but contact from another driver in Race 3 into the chicane on the final lap, prevented a win on TV 😐

Qualifying: 2nd and 2nd
Race 1: 2nd -> 1st 🥇
Race 2: 11th -> 4th
Race 3: 2nd -> 4th (contact)

A massive thankyou as always to Adam Keens , Sam Pearce Motorsport , Karl Graves , and everyone Graves Motorsport for all their support and tireless effort. It was great to finally get a win at my home circuit after coming so close two seasons in a row 🧡

We're in the second half of the season now. Next up is Donington Park GP alongside the BTCC once again.

Pembrey Race Weekend 🏁

Another great weekend in the The MINI CHALLENGE UK Trophy championship. I'm so happy with our performace this weekend after our promising but unfortunate visit here back in 2024.

Qualifying: 2nd and 3rd
Race 1: 2nd -> 1st 🥇
Race 2: 12th -> 9th (damage) + New lap record 🟣
Race 3: 3rd -> 2nd 🥈

Damage in Race 2 limited our power and dropped us down from 4th after setting a new lap record while moving up the field. Its annoying as 2 other cars were involved but we came off by far the worst.

In Race 3, we were lining up a move for the lead towards the end of the race but an incident at turn 1 on the final lap slowed us down. We held onto 2nd but the new leader was too far ahead to catch and overtake within a lap.

A big thankyou to Adam Keens , Sam Pearce Motorsport , Dan Zelos , and everyone Graves Motorsport for all their effort, support, and help this weekend, especially for getting me back out for Race 3 🧡

Another thankyou to Silverlake Garage
, , and SimpleClick for all their support 💚💛

Next up is Thruxton Circuit , our home circuit. We went so well here last season, and we're back supporting the BTCC , so stay tuned for that where we'll be live on ITV4 once again 📺🔜

Snetterton Race Weekend 🏁

Another decent weekend, although not without a few issues along the way. It was great being part of the support package once again, our first of four features on it this season 🙌

Qualifying: 4th and 5th
Race 1: 4th -> 12th (11th after penalties)
Race 2: 2nd -> 1st 🥇
Race 3: 5th -> 4th (10th after penalties)

Race 1 began well but we soon suffered an electrical issue which dropped us down the order, ultimately finishing in 11th.

We got lucky with the reverse grid draw for Race 2 and lined up 2nd, which we soon capitalised on and moved into 1st where we sat for much of the race before the safety car was brought out, which we also finished the race under 🏆

During the race my selector for 5th and 6th gear broke so the team had to work a miracle to change the gearbox and get it ready again for Race 3.

Race 3 we gradually moved up the order into 2nd before launching our bid for the win on the last lap. We got into the lead but couldn't hold it until the end and ultimately ended up 4th on the road.

However, I received a 10 second penalty for track limits. I'm not usually one for doing track limits and this race was just a blip. I've only got myself to blame for it so no point complaining 🙃

It was one of the best races I've ever been a part of and deserves a watch on ITVx 📺

A large, massive, huge thankyou to , , .keens , and everyone for sorting the car out after Race 1 and 2 to get me back out and fighting up the front.

We've a month break before the next weekend in Wales with the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Tough Saturday here 😑

Qualified well this morning with a 4th and 5th for Race 1 and 3 respectively.

Race 1 started well but an electrical issue dropped us out of the front group. The issue cleared up a couple laps later and we recovered back to 12th on the road, officially 11th after penalties were applied.

Finishing 11th means we line up 2nd on the grid for Race 2 tomorrow morning.
