Another Frustrating Round at Whilton Mill, Here is how it went.
Practice: P3
Quali: P12 Overall
Pre Final: P12⬆️P8
Final:P8⬆️P3 (P7 after penalties)
Practice I was just getting back to grips with the circuit and trying to get up to pace with those that had already done their pre-event testing.
Qualifying went OK, lots of traffic meant it was hard to set a good laptime in and a yellow flag on the last lap meant I could not improve, and the track was only getting faster and faster so I knew I would be around the midfield in the A final and I was 🫤
Pre Final I made the most of what I had, making all of my places up in the first lap 😂 and staying in p8 for the entire race, I could not go fowards as my kart was quite suboptimal, being almost 9 tenths off the pace 😑 But luckily I was being bumpdrafted the entire time so managed not to lose any places.
The Final starting P8 managed to get a decent getaway but almost got spun round at Christmas meaning I lost a few of the places I had made up 😒 But I got my head down and managed to make my way all the way up to P3 even though a certain driver was being very dangerous and weaving all over the place ‼️
Finished P3 on track, but got a 4 place penalty for someone turning across me 🙄 But that’s how it is sometimes…
We move on to llandow in a few weeks time, hopefully getting a much better result so I can catch up to @jtg__09 in the championship battle…
