CSMCC Round 4 Race Report

results csmcc

With the sun out, it was set to be one of the hottest race days at Knockhill yet!

Qualifying

P3! Happy with that, with the times so close between the top 10 with only 0.4 tenths separating us it was always going to be a close race.

Race 1

Track temperature was now at 41c. 41c… at Knockhill. Unheard of! However this, Probably was the best race to date, lost a position of the start then with the 3 other drives in front we managed to gap the rest of field… until we started to battle. Back and forward with some clean racing throughout the top 4, I just missed out on the podium and finished 4th.

Race 2

Starting 4th, we lost out to the start again (Can’t say I’m the best at starts…). Settled into 4th and begin latching on to those in front. With 2 laps to go, the driver in third went for a move into the hairpin so I glued onto his bumper and this sacrificed my exit on the straight and there I was stuck in the middle as cars flew by me on the straight. After a hectic last lap, I managed to bring the car back in 5th.

Race 3

Starting third, this time I managed to hold position of the line but with my teammate John Duncan Racing on the outside going into Duffus I shut my eyes and I think the guys at Minimax Motorsport did too! John just eased in front and we settled in to move our way through. Unfortunately, this didn’t last long enough as on lap 4 I took a huge hit from behind which compromised the rest of the race and we managed to limp home in 4th. I didn’t realise how much damage there was until I got out!

Overall, not the podiums I wanted but generally a good haul of points! A clean sweep of newcomer wins, and we have stretched the lead to 28 points! We have also moved into 4th in the overall championship 17 points of third so it’s so all to play for. I’m really starting to enjoy the racing at Knockhill and with us just over the halfway point now it’s time to chase those wins!

Big thanks to the guys at Minimax Motorsport, they have a bit of work to do between now and the next meeting in August during the Super Touring Car Festival!

Again, I can’t thank my sponsors enough for what they do, I’m glad to give you the results you deserve!
