Thruxton. The fastest and most dangerous track in the country. Throughout Friday with no prior testing, I found myself in dry conditions being at the front of the field straight away after Free Practice 1. Me and the team continued this pace all the way through friday and we were ready for saturday and sunday to come. Saturday qualifying was hard to comprehend, with problems trying to find a slipstream from another car and struggling to work with the new tyre meant I would finish qualifying P13. This did set us back but I knew that the guys at Race Car Consultants would get the car sorted. I knew that our race pace was good because I know myself as more of a racer than a qualifier and so I just thought to forget about qualifying and focus on the races ahead. Race 1 in the sunset was a awesome race, picking my way through the field throughout the race. A red flag half way through the race and a safety car when we would eventually restart did mean I lost crucial time that could had been used making more places but with the time I had, I made some impressive moves and got myself from P13 up to P7. I would also see myself get up to P3 in class, a good way to start the weekend with a podium. I looked through the footage overnight to ensure I knew where to improve for next race. Sunday had came around and it was time for race 2 and race 3 and to spice things up, It was chucking it down! I was starting P7 for race 2 but although not having ever driven thruxton in the wet, I knew i had the driver ability to search for the grip and use my wet racing knowledge to its limits. I had the best start i could possible and found myself sitting in 2nd place before a safety car came out. I knew i had the pace to win and so i took every chance i had when it came to the restart and managed to find my way into the lead for the first time ever this year. I couldn't believe this. All the work me and the team have put into this year and we finally see ourselves at the top. But the race wasn't over so I got the head down and tried everything i could. I managed to set the fastest lap by 4 tenths which just showed how much I was pushing. However, the 2 drivers behind who were teamates worked together and managed to both get past me. In the end, I finished Race 2 in P3 overall and P3 in class, my first podium ever in car racing and this podium was history making as the top 3 drivers were all AM Drivers. This result showed that experience doesen't always matter in motorsport, but its about whos driving the car and how fast they can learn and adapt. It was a emotional podium for me as i was so proud of me and the team for how far we have come. However, it was time to quickly recap on the race and get ready for the final race of the weekend. As this was the reverse grid race, we would be starting from P8. It was a more consistent race for me as i kept my nose clean and thought more about my championship points and how important these positions will mean. I had a brilliant battle with my teamate and finished the race in P6 Overall and P2 in class. It was a brilliant way to finish the weekend with another class podium and those important champioship points means that we sit 4th in the AM Championship with the chance to win the AM Championship being away by only a couple points. We now prepare for the final round at Silverstone International, where we will battle under the home of the british motorsport to try and win the championship. Saying that means so much as it's still my first year of racing cars. I hope to see you there.
