We was back to Brentwood again today for Round 10 of 12. It hasn't been the best of seasons again for me, I had a really bad Round 1 and then over Christmas I caught Covid so I had to miss another round, so I've been on a bit of a back foot.
This weekend I needed another strong result following my Win last week, especially as I would have a 5 place grid penalty for the win, so it was really about a damage limitation week!
It didn't really start off very well with me only Qualifying 4th, but I knew I just had to keep my head down and push as hard as I could to get through the pack. It was a really long race which wasn't made easy for me by George & Mikey but I managed to secure the win in Heat 1.
With the 2nd Heat, where I won the 1st Heat you are sent to the back of the grid to work your way through the pack. I started P10, made good progress through the pack and ended up finishing P3. I was happy with the result as I needed to start in the A Final in order to secure as many points as possible.
I was starting P8 in the A Final, so I knew I had a challenge but had to keep going. It wasn't the easiest of starts and I didn't make my way up as quickly as I wanted but did get a bit of luck when someone in front of me got an ABC so while they was giving back the position I was able to take advantage and gain another place. In the end I finished P3, so the 2nd podium in a 2 weeks and couldn't be happier!
Let's keep this momentum going for the last 2 rounds and hope for a result at the end.
I also got to collect my 1st Place trophy from last week.
Congratulations to Leon Curtis for his 2nd place and a huge congratulations to Rory Hamilton for his first ever A Final Podium, P3 - well done mate!
