This is going to be a very quick post just to update the blog:

Was a good weekend, but didn’t fare too well in the results. Qualified 10th out of 14 and finished 9th in race 1. Race 2 was a bit different. I was literally driven off the track by narrowly avoiding a collision and then went very very wide at another corner later on the race. Finally, I almost ran out of fuel when the engine suffered fuel starvation on the penultimate lap.

As there were only 13 runners I figured it was better to finish last than to not finish at all! It’s the first time I’ve ever almost run out of fuel. I can only put it down to a combination of not having a working fuel guage (it’s abag tank so I have to use a dip stick to measure), a very long 2.9 mile circuit with much of the lap at full throttle, and a red flag incident causing an extra two laps to be put on.

And that was about it. I hope Brands Hatch will be a better result. And I’ll make sure there is enough go-go juice in the tank too!

Here is a clip of my near miss:
