On-Track Reports

Here I will post updates on some of my activities through the year

SuperOne Round 1 & 2: Rowrah

Race Report coming soon...

Whilton Mill

5-6/10/24

Final round of the season at the fantastic Whilton Mill circuit.

The gremlins of GYG seemd to have followed us and i struggled to find the last few 10ths needed through practice and into Qualifying where i ended up 12th...but the top 2 were disqualified so this became 10th so manging to keep my season achievemnt of being in the top 10!.

Unfortunately on Sunday the weather was quite damp which resulted in a difficult racing surface so the race day was more determined by accidents and crashes than anything else. In the warm up I had to take avoiding action at turn 2 due to spinning karts which saw me head-first into the wall-not the best start to the day. More of this continued through the heats but i managed to hold my own and ended up P8 on the grid for the final. Then several hits to my back end and side in a row saw me knocked down to P13. I limped on for a few more laps until another kart lost control and took me out completely with a bent rear axle and dislodged chain - so my first DNF of the season!.

Glan-Y-Gors

21-22/09/24

In contrast to Llandow this was a a tough weekend!...plagued by gremlins all saturday and in Quali which meant a P10 was the best i could achieve Changed parts overnight and in the warm up on Sunday things seemed better. Through the heats I managed to gain five places but then got hit and dropped back down a lot. I got a few spots back ending up finishing P9, so my lowest finish of the season, but still in the top 10!. Overall results aside it was a good weekends battling and as always - useful experience!

Llandow

31st Aug-1st Sept 24

Best weekend of the season!!!!....leading the field all practice as the only driver to get into the 44s lap times - which i did consistently. Placed P1 in all the practices and then put it on pole by 1/4 of a second.

In the first heat I pulled away and crossed the line 6 seconds ahead of P2. Things didnt go quite so well in the pre-final though...again leading from pole i got pushed wide by someone making an 'enthusiastic' late braking manouever - I manged to keep going but had to settle for 5th.

Due to the points aggregation I started the grand final on pole, being nervous of getting tagged I made the first mistake of the weekend and pushed too hard on cold tyres which meant i drifted a bit wide and got overtaken. Through the remainder of the final, 1st place and I dropped the pack and we had a good battle to the finish - i tried a few passes into the hairpin but was very happy to finsh P2 in the end.
