Great day at Bedford today with Tim Moff in his mini :)
Pax with Nick 'Prawn' Vaughan šš» super quick! 161mph.dowm the back straight š.
Pax with Nige Pinder, they say don't meet your heros, I mean the R8 not Mr P, but honestly what a car, effortlessly fast and such a nice handling thing which was a surprise, all that power and rwd !
Didn't take many pics, always a sign of a busy day!
So the job I was sposed to be on in Japan is cancelled which means I can now, hopefully, do round 1 of the @btrdarallycrosschampionship in 3 weeks time! Oh yes my little green #RallyCross car has a lot of prep to get across over the next few weeks! @haydenharrissracing@alexf2003 when are you free to help me?!
Hereās some of my favorite in car footage from this years @btrdarallycrosschampionship where as the rookie I think the biggest skill learnt (which the footage shows) was learning when to come off the throttle and stay out of the pack, on occasions itās like the last two laps of the #Daytona500 out there! Had such a great time and managed to do all rounds of this yearās championship getting me 3rd place in my class and 4 podiums.
My favourite round was the two day meeting at Pembrey Race Circuit, ironically a client of mine, this was the event where I started getting āin the zoneā and pushing myself and the car way past my comfort zone. My confidence in a front wheel drive car especially on gravel, has grown so much throughout the year, where Iām now so pleased with my suspension set up that Iām throwing the car in to bends at speeds and angles I never thought was possible.
Have I spun at all this year? Well from memory once testing on a trackday with @opentracktrackdays at #BedfordAutodrome at almost 100mph where I learnt the hard way about how weight transfer from down-changing the gears whilst braking after a long straight means the levels of grip between the front and rear tyres changes on each gear change. I also spun maybe 3 times in qualifying throughout the year, but non in a race, so Iām happy. Especially considering some races were in pretty awful weather conditions and the final in Scotland was the slipperiest Iāve ever known and I did have a small moment rubbing off the tyre wall on McRae corner but itāll polish out.
Huge thanks to so many people for just being involved and helping us, I canāt tag everyone but John, Jordine and the #BTDRARallyCross team plus all the Marshals and @ourmotorsportuk Officials across the UK, @autoactiondevelopments@alexf2003@js.tracksidemedia@sdonegan.graphics@kjwraps@msssafety@simracing_hq@turbotechnics@haydenharrissracing@mrf_motorsport_tyres_uk@walthamservices and all the fellow racers in the Production class of our #RallyCross championship.
