Super One GYG- 3rd and 4th of May

Being one of my favourite tracks I wanted to race at GYG at least once this year. This weekend was great however the driving can be considered shocking.

Saturday
Qualifying —> 10th
Heat 1 —> started 10th —> finished 7th
Heat 2 —> started 10th —> finished 19th after an incident with another driver
Final —> started 12th —> finished 10th after having someone defend the whole race

Sunday
Qualifying —> 13th had a really quick lap the last lap but got caught behind a back marker
Heat 1 —> started 13th —> finished 12th —> 17th after a bumper penalty
Heat 2 —> started 13th —> finished 12th
Final —> started 14th —> finished 8th after a driver was defending the whole race

Over all it was a good weekend and I enjoyed working with Mattie learning new lines and learning set up. Starting from the back in qualifying did not help but I tried my best. It’s a shame that I couldn’t do better but learning new things made up for it

Thank you to Mattie for being my mechanic, as well as showing me lines and helping me improve. Potenza racing engines for the power and my family for funding my racing and my parents for driving me places!

May 12th- Second day of racing for the first round of the UKC and still just as hot with it reaching temperatures of 23 degrees! After having mechanical issues the day before I only just fixed it the night before and had hope that there would be no more issues!

Super heat —> started 17th —> up to 9 —> then on the last lap down to 11th and hit a curb which meant that —> finished 17th after penalties. Very happy with my race craft in the super heat and was disappointed that I may not get into the final. I was very surprised to make it into the final even if it was last because of my poor results due to mechanical issues!
Final —> started 34th and had my spark plug die on first corner —> got up to 22nd before dropping to last place and half a lap down trying to keep my kart going —> finished 25th! Overall I was happy that I made it into the final but a bit disappointed as I had the pace to be racing with the others only to have my spark plug fail!

Thank you to Tony for being my mechanic, as well as Kraft Motorsport for giving me lines and helping me improve. Potenza racing engines for the power and my family for funding my racing and my parents for driving me places!

May 10th I am racing in the UKC at Kimbolton and despite it only being my second time here I am only half a second off the leaders and I have the pace to be running top 10! With it getting to 23 degrees and it’s only supposed to get hotter on Saturday and Sunday it’s definitely going to be a challenge!

Friday practice is done onto the rest of the weekend! With Saturday containing two practice sessions, qualifying and two heats. And on Sunday having a superheat and the final! Over all it’s going to be a great weekend and I’m looking forward to this!
