Some good racing at Silverstone, particularly the second race.

First race I just had enough pace to ease away from Pete & take the win. Second race had more excitement, especially after I went off at Maggotts on the first lap, thought I had blown my chances but the close battling at the front allowed me to catch back up & eventually get in the lead.

Apologies to Stephen in race 2 for chopping across your car at Copse, I saw a car a little way behind in my mirror & presumed it was you, not realising we had passed Frex at some point & that you were still close behind. Also pity Pete got DQed. ???

Congrats to the other podiums.  :clap: :clap:

Big apology for first race, first lap - it's weeks since I've driven these and I forgot how tricky they can be under braking. One touch of the brake with the wrong steering angle and I was a passenger, taking out both Stephen and Mark - very sorry chaps.

Made a small change to brake balance for race 2 and felt more confident, and had some good racing throughout. Good fun. Thanks all and congrats Geoff for the wins.

That was a bit like race three at a BTCC meeting! but was ok when everything settled down. I didn't have any time to practice for this one and just drifted back as the race unfolded.

On to Motegi for the next round!
