2009 Season

Although the summer in 2009 was wet, our racing days were very lucky with the weather and only 1 meeting was held in wet conditions.

The season started in early March at Snetterton with qualifying putting me 4th in class and 11th overall in the heat - however in the race a disaster. This was our first race using the new R48 tyres and I lean't the hard way that they need warming up before you get full grip. On the 2nd lap I tried to take the first corner nearly flat out - well the backend went and the car headed sideways into the field and then proceeded to roll 3 times. Thankfully I was unhurt but the car wasn't so lucky

The car was repaired for the next meeting but already the budget put aside for testing was spent. The remainder of season saw some good results the highlight being 6th overall and 3rd in class at Brands Hatch

June 2009

Competing at Brands Hatch in rounds 8 & 9 of the 750mc Stock Hatch Championship a season best finish of 6^th finish was achieved a feat that Jenson Button could only match at the British Grand Prix. 

In Saturday’s race a great start moved me to 4^th from 8^th on the grid by the end of lap 2, however the race was red flagged due to a car rolling at the notorious Paddock Hill bend. On the restart a steady start saw consolidation of 8^th position before performing a couple over taking manoeuvres at the down hill Graham Hill bend moving him up to 6^th by the end of the race. During the race I posted the 3^rd fastest lap of the race just 0.4 secs outside the existing lap record.

Race 2 saw a starting position further back on the grid in 12^th place, so a top 10 finish was the target one that was achieved. Another good start moved me to 11^th on lap 1 before moving up to 10^th with a great overtaking move around the outside at paddock Hill. The last 4 laps saw close battles and passing two other cars before losing a place back on the last corner as running wide attempting another overtaking manoeuvre, before taking 9^th at the chequered flag.

May 2009 

Cadwell Park

Following a promising race at Castle Combe, the next race was at the Lincolnshire Cadwell Park. The circuit well deserving its nickname of mini-Nurburgring and being regarded as the most challenging in the UK.

Race 1 - a good start saw progression from 22nd on the grid, and by lap 5 was up in 2nd in class. However all this was ruined when the oil warning light came on and retired on the side of caution. Following overnight engine checks the car was fine for the 2nd race. However at the start a poor start was made due to being unsighted of the lights. A mutli car accident on the first lap allowed a number of cars to be caught and passed before 15th place was consolidated - 5th in class.

April 2009

Easter saw wonderful weather, full grids and frantic action. In qualifying despite knowing the circuit I was very careful thus starting the race in 32rd of 42 starters. A good start in the race was ruined when forced to a near stop on the first lap to avoid 2 spun cars. The remainder of the race was great fun catching and over taking slower cars eventually finishing 25th (12th in class).
