Joshua takes podium at Shenington

This weekend was going to be tough. A decent grid of 30 were in attendance. Thankfully it was going to be an awesome dry weekend! With Covid meaning this round was only a one day race, there was no testing yesterday we were sure we had the pace for a strong finish for the penultimate round of the season!

As there was no testing yesterday. Our only practice was the EIGHT minute testing session before the heats. Thankfully this went well and we finished testing in 8th… 1st – 8th was separated by a measly 0.400 seconds! The heats were going to be awesome!

Heat 1 – P11 > P9, managed to get up to P7, missed an apex and dropped two positions, fastest 3rd sector!

Heat 2 – P4 > P4, dropped to P9, made it back to P3, but was pipped on the line! Took fastest 1st sector AND fastest lap!

Heat 3 – P19 > P8, Starting near the back meant I need to knuckle down and make the moves. +11 position to cross the line P8, Fastest 2nd sector and 0.100 seconds off of the fastest on track!

A Final – P6 > P3, a bit of a rough start, dropping to P8. But, a strong middle section of the race saw me into 5th, with 2 laps left I made to overtake in the same lap and crossed the line in P3! Awesome racing and a mature drive to seal the last step on the podium.

What a way to finish the weekend!!!
