Nerves are the bodies way of getting the best out of yourself Adrian just treat it like a trackday, and the main thing is drive it like your late for mass :)

Very interesting project. Fair play on all the work you have put in, lots of blood, sweat and tears I would imagine.

If you don't mind me asking, what race club are you with? I've always wanted to get involved in something like this.
 
Well lad savage day for you today congratulations on the result well deserved if that race was 2 laps longer you would have won it, car ran flawless, quick in the straight and great on the brakes into turn one
Great stuff
 
Where to start!
My first race today in Future Classics on the national track layout at Mondello Park,we pulled up around 8:00am and got all the scrutiny and sign in sorted and all went smooth.Then we set up the BBQ for some timely breakfast thanks to my personal chef Paul Cunningham keeping anyone that wanted food feed all day[emoji106]
Went out for my qualifying session at 10:40 and really got a feel for how quick my competition was and the size of the grid.I was a bit fast on a few laps and broke the barrier time which left be 18th on the starting grid,I thought this was a blessing in disguise as I'd get to learn some race craft early in my first race event.So my race started at 2:20 and from 18th I made a great start and made my way up the centre gaining good ground.Early in the race there was an off at turn 1 and the race was yellow flagged I was so in the zone I didn't see it and ended up passing some cars under yellow flag as it stopped so quick on the main straight,I gave most of the spots back but really had no idea how many and thought anyone I passed had taken the spot back,but got the repercussions later with a 4 car grid penalty for next race and 3 points on my license[emoji20]
I'll have to put that down to lack of experience.When the race restarted I was about 10 cars back but made my way back through the traffic to take 3rd place,I had a good chance to take second on the second last lap but just didn't have the gap between 1st and 2nd to close the door into turn 1, but much respect to Marty and Tim on there defence[emoji106]Today has been a huge learning curve for me and I hope I can continue to be competitive for the rest of the year and hope the little Saxo can keep pulling off good pace and reliability.Thanks to all the lads at Future Classics and all the Mondello Park Staff,this really is a top class race venue and I look forward be being a part of it for as long as I possibly can[emoji106]Roll on Race 2/3 17th and 18th of April[emoji592][emoji100]
