Race 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhLHboK1ARc

Started 3rd, good start, help position until lap 2. Ross Wylie dived up the inside at the hairpin and, knowing this would end with me in the gravel, I backed out to only lose 2 places rather than 4 or 5. Chasing Ross and Steven Brewster I followed them through past David and Tim Sleigh. Probably could have mounted a better challenge for 2nd if I hadn't mucked up the safety car restart. Happy with 3rd, exactly what I needed for the championship(s).


Race 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkeSDXXQ_HU

Started 3rd, dropped to 5th after Ross Wylie in pole had a poor start. Under pressure from Lewis Grant for the first few laps as the pack bunched up, briefly dropping back to 6th but picking back up to 3rd before the safety car came out. Next out came the red flag, on the restart, I had a poor start losing 3rd to Tim Sleigh but he had to pull over to reset the car's electrics allowing me back in to 3rd and chased Steven Brewster home.


Race 3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI2DkQdmPOk

Started 3rd on the grid, dived past Tim Sleigh on lap one in to MacIntyres and set off after David Sleigh. David let me through to chase the win and seal 3rd overall in the championship.


My season results:
- 3 championship wins
- 9 championship podiums
- 10 newcomers wins
- 19 newcomers podiums
- 3rd overall championship
- 1st newcomers championship

Team Sleigh Racing results:
39 out of 72 podiums
18 out of 24 wins

Cheers guys. Yeah, I'm made up. Mediocre start to the season but all came together nicely after Croft.

Awards dinner this weekend. Tuxedo and alcohol, does not bode well!
