Despite the jumps looking a bit mental the track was actually quite good today - vastly prefered it to the last national.

Some suggestions - forgo scrutineering! Or do it at booking in only. Get someone (or shared among decent drivers) to referee instead. I was starting to lap people on my second lap in qualifying, and it was like a Worlds A main - not letting me past without a fight!

I was trying a new car (possibly the first time the car has raced at a UK National?) and I'd never driven it before. I was trying lots of stuff out but I couldn't even have 1 lap before the race started to get used to the changes. Anyone with a complaint should have started behind me as i set off and spun out on the first corner - causing an 'incident' because I'd not been allowed to practice (get used to it). I've not really any recollection of a race where drivers don't get a few corners to test the car.


Just a couple of ideas - enjoyed the racing today even though I was a bit under pressure to get the car working

As Jimmy already said, Despite the early start, i had an enjoyable day. The track had several technical features which require either caution or skill (maybe both), but it still remained raceable. This is as opposed to being an over complicated obstacle course. (I'm not complaining i don't like the obstacle course type tracks, they are really enjoyable, just in my opinion not suited to actual RACING).
See you guys again at the next one
