The Racing Hondas Championship - Brands Hatch Rounds 13-14 Race Report

Returning to Brands Hatch I was hoping for a much better weekend than I had in June, especially with guests, friends, family and sponsors attending. With it being my local event I wanted a decent weekend to put behind what happened earlier in the year. 

Qualifying was in the dry.  I managed to put an okay lap in early, and struggled to beat it after that.  Starting race 1 from p15,  p7 in class is much better than being on my roof. So will take that!

As soon as we returned to the awning after qualifying the rain arrived, heavy torrential downpours. 

Race One

Race 1 was mega wet conditions with visibility and just staying on track being a struggle, however on my AO52 tyres it wasn’t too bad. I managed to work my way up to p4 in class and was even battling with the A class cars.

I stayed on track and held 4th position until I chose to let Alfie, my Jeakins race prep teammate through just before the chequered flag, to aid his championship points. I finished p5 in class. Very happy with that!

The rain was on and off between races.

Race Two

Race 2 was still a little slippery starting in p6, I got a good start getting up to 4th, from there I held my position, a safety car came out, due to an incident on track, shortly after the restart there was a red flag and the race ended.  So crossing the line in P4.

Summary

Very content with these results considering the year of bad luck we’ve been having.  To have a weekend with no issues and good hard racing especially with my sponsors and friends in attendance was very much needed and enjoyed! 

What's Next?

Last and final round is on October 20th at Snetterton, will be looking for a repeat of these results to finish the season. 

And as always a massive thank you to the team at time attack and the championship for putting on a great event and to all my sponsors, family and supporters who allow me to compete! And a huge thank you to all the orange army of Marshalls, without them we couldn’t go racing!
