CSMCC Round 5 Race Report

results csmcc

I think by now most people will get the gist of how the weekend went however here is a quick re-cap how the weekend went.

Qualifying

P10. Not the best but only managed one flying lap as the session was hampered by Code-60 flag as there was a car parked on the exit of the hairpin.

Race 1

Stayed in 10th most of the race until two cars collided into the hairpin giving me two free positions then spent the rest of the race hounding my teammate John as his right tyre was now facing inwards after getting involved in the mess at the hairpin. Unfortunately due to some stellar defending from John and a moment where all power was lost in the car I lost a position and finished 8th.

Race 2

Made a good start and was straight into 7th. Again, spent most of the race in 7th place until battling ahead aloud me move into 6th place finish. However, this gave me pole in the reverse grid as 6th was pulled out the hat.

Race 3

Starting pole and with my Minimax Motorsport teammates John Duncan Racing and Hannah Chapman Racing right behind me… followed by the rest of the field. I wish I could say the race was easy but it was anything but that. First lap I was under pressure from John as he made a move into the hairpin which lead to a drag race to the top of Duffus. Going two wide is pretty daunting there and even worse with your teammate so you can imagine what that was like! This let Hannah move into P2 and the rest of the race was spent white lining the rest of the way to make sure I held onto the win. Thankfully managed to hold on until the chequered flag after some extreme pressure from Hannah!

First maiden victory! What was even better that I was able to share the podium with my Minimax Motorsport teammates Hannah and John. What a way to end the weekend with a Minimax Motorsport lockout! Can’t thank the guys at Minimax Motorsport especially Scott Mckenzie for everything this weekend! Glad we could get the result we truly deserved for the team! Another huge thanks goes to my driving coach and person I owe to getting me the drive in the first place Victor Covey.

Finally, without the backing of Allan and Angela at AP Autocentre this wouldn’t be possible. I can’t thank them enough for giving me this opportunity! Glad I could get these result for you!

Now the long break until next time!
