Luke Lawrence rode to 4th and 5th places respectivly this Sunday at Brands Hatch in Kent. Despite a poor qualifying Luke made good starts in both races to claw back valuable points.
For some reason I struggled on Saturday to get confidence with the bike and set-up, Saturday was a real low point for me as I qualified on the back row of the grid.
Sunday morning warmup we made some further changes to the bike, and combined with a very kind offer of a tow from Ben Miller I managed to drop 3 seconds in my laptime!!
Both races I made a good start, although some chaos going into the first turn in each race meant we dropped the pack in the first lap. Although I had the laptimes to run up with the podium finishes in my class (TDG Cup) it was too little too late in each race. I'm still happy with 4th and 5th places - however I know I need to qualify better in order to stand a chance in the races.
i'd like to thank Ricky Chadwick and his mechanics for their help throughout this season, Ricky had 3 podium finishes this weekend and was really on form. Well done also to Ben Miller for his first ever win In the second race on Sunday
Its four weeks to Cadwell know and hopefully enough time for another track day, i'm determined to sort out my pace on this Triumph!
