So, I have some news...! ๐๐โบ๏ธ
My heart is so full of excitement and happiness thanks to the loveliest man I've ever met. James has officially decided he can cope with me every day for the rest of his life ๐
First full season at Castle Combe hot hatch with @wcuc_motoeng complete. Huge thanks to @tactical_123 and all the team for their hard work, repairing and setting up the car.
Shame the final race ended with a DNF despite crossing the line ahead of the leaders and when shown the checkered flag. Apparently TSL, onboard video and photo evidence is not enough??
Also thanks to @jakeozzy_photography for providing all the pictures this year and congrats to @wcuc_motoeng team mate @sw_racing_222 for winning the Hot Hatch Championship. Also thanks to me for sponsoring myself and ensuring financial ruin.

Fun race video making up places I lost at the start. Chasing down the Peugeot when the CV boot split and covered the brakes in grease. Massive rear lock up and code brown moment. @wcuc_motoeng repaired it and changed the steering rack for race 2.

Amazing racing from both Sam and James again! Especially with James picking up his first podium in race 2 which is an incredible achievement ๐ Sam got his customary 2 P1's in class but is still sticking it to the cars with a fair amount more power than the 1.4 EF Civic!
Onto the finals race weekend in October for both of them now ๐
A selection of images from this event are now available for download on my website! Link is in my bio ๐
Goal achieved. First overall podium in @castlecomberacingclub hot hatch championship. P3 overall and P2 in class! ๐
It may have required some DNFs in front, but weโll take it. Huge thanks to @wcuc_motoeng and @tactical_123 for building and repairing the EP3 in time for race 2. Replaced steering rack, pads, bled the brakes and aligned the car in record time. Also a shout out to Andy at @m4tyres for switching my knackered tyres round. Time for fresh rubber for next race.

Not long until weโre racing again at @castlecomberacingclub with the @wcuc_motoeng EP3 Civic. The car is getting better to drive each round.

Great day racing at @castlecomberacingclub Nankang Hot Hatch Championship.
Racing in a heatwave was an experience, but the @wcuc_motoeng Honda Civic ran faultlessly.
Race 1 P9 to P6. Race 2 P6 to P6. A lonely but fun race lapping a full second off the pace.
Big shoutout to @tactical_123 for a great car setup. @jakeozzy_photography for the awesome photos. And @lbridgessmith for keeping me hydrated and sane in the heat!

Code brown moment at Castle Combe ! Semi slicks in the wet was not ideal. Taking no risks next time.

First drive of the @wcuc_motoeng Honda Civic EP3. No practice, so basically a shake down session. Qualified on rain tyres on a dry track, so right at the back.
Race 1 was a lot of fun learning how the civic drives. Went from P14 to P5 overall, so very happy with that performance. I almost forgot it was meant to be a shake down. The car felt mega, lots of potential from a completely stock K20.
Race 2 was a disaster. Gambled on a Dry setup and it immediately started raining. Several high speed slides and zero visibility with a fogged up window, I called it a day DNF
Massive thanks to the @wcuc_motoeng team for building and running the car. Looking forward to next round.

Photo dump of when the Teg was in one piece. Shame it took a crash to find out the cause of the handling issues. At least we know how to fix it. Completion ETA 2030

Starting to like this car now. Or maybe just the engine and looks. RSR livery looks the bollocks @wrap.uk
