A fantastic meeting ran by the Maritime Raceway team. Bit of a trek for me but spending a couple of days at Auntie Sues in suffolk broke up the journey.
For a long time I have used a blue and white colour scheme as you can see in the pics below. A lot of people are doing more realistic bodyshells for this series so thought I would join in. This is my attempt at a racing scheme similar to the one in GT5 on the corvette, really pleased how it turned out.
The track was fantastic nice and flowing. Car setup remained the same except I have moved to a GM 2010 10.5 that I picked up second hand. It weighs about 15grams lighter than my Tekin Redline. Many thanks to Mark Burgess for the setup on the Tekin speed and after playing around with the gearing I got a stable temperature and the car was plenty quick enough.
Had great fun in qualifying, Chris O'Donoguhe was my target and we were trading the lead lap after lap in the qualifiers. Had a slight issue where I lost the camber shims due to not tightening up the holder enough but that was the only mishap of the day.
I qualified 6th on the grid in the A final. A clean start by everyone meant there was some good racing ahead. I got past Gavin Clinche when he hit a barrier, I then set out after Chris in 4th place. Got a slight shock when Mark Burgess dropped down behind me after being caught on a barrier. Tried to keep him behind me but that man knows how to put pressure on a guy!! Finished 5th which I am really pleased with.
Another good meeting, numbers were slightly down due to the distance which is a shame. Next event I will be racing at is the Summer Shoot out chesterfield.
Here are a few pics from the event (forgot my camera again!) and a video of the A final.
