After finishing Silverstone without too much to do to the car we went into the round at Oulton Park fairly confident of a good race. In qualifying the car felt the best it ever had and we qualified a strong 8th out of 26. This was to be my highest ever start position, on the 4th row of the grid. I was slightly apprehensive as I was amongst a lot of cars that I hadn’t been around before, so I wasn’t sure how they raced. I got a good start overtaking a few, but was on the outside at the first corner and was pushed wide onto the grass losing quite a few places, but was still 2nd in Class.
I race with my fiancé, Toby Harris, in the Classic Sports Car Club (CSCC) Tin Tops Series in a Ford Puma Cup 1600. The races are 40 minutes in duration with a compulsory pitstop/driver change, which suits us down to the ground as we both get to race as a team and share the same car. It also allows our pit crew to get involved!
Last week I took advantage of the offer from iZone to spend a few hours with them up at Silverstone as part of my BWRDC Goldstars winner’s package.
