The car was purchased last Autumn, since then I’ve been on a number of track days at Combe/Goodwood/Silverstone/Donington to get used to the car and have a fair bit of coaching. I also managed to convince my brother in law and a friend to sponsor me a little!
ARDS was completed in January and my first race weekend was at Donington in March, having by now driven the car a fair bit and being relatively happy with Donington it was just a small matter of getting used to actually racing!!
We qualified 12th out a of 40 car grid and ended up coming 2nd in class, unfortunately we should have won our class however I pitted too early and our 1:30 pit stop took 2:30, we lost out by 0:20 secs! All in all a great fun weekend and I learnt a lot and more importantly the car remained in one piece!
