Cadwell is one of the most technical circuits on the calendar and it is one of the weekends I look forward to each year.
Friday:
I got going well on the Friday however I had my progress halted after what felt like wasted sessions in traffic with a complete lack of consistency due to issues with third gear however after some repairs I was optimistic about Saturday.
Saturday:
Had the same issue in practice as well as a qualifying despite changing the gearbox and although it had made an improvement I was still well over a second off the pace.
Race one: got a great start but was left with a puncture after turn 4 forcing me to pit for fresh rubber putting me a lap down and firmly in last place however I still pushed hard with the goal of improving my race craft and getting my times down ready for race 2+3 on Sunday as I had a lot of work to do to salvage some points.
Sunday:
Race two: got off the line well once again gaining a couple places and was challenging for another when the car popped out of third again 😑 but it was fine as there was plenty of time to move forward and by the end of the race I had gained 2 more places putting me 6th.
Race three: it began with a poor start however after a safety car and red flags I was 5th. On the race restart I started in 4th with good enough pace to be fighting for a podium but after my worst start of this year and a small mistake from me I was on the grass in turn 4 and I rejoined the circuit in 7th. After a few laps I had moved up to 6th but had a large gap to 5th. I pulled out some good times and set consistent 1:48s with my fastest being a 1:48.702 close to 2 seconds faster than my time in qualifying however there just wasn’t enough time for me to make a move I had just got into the tow by the final corner when the chequered came out.
Overall not the worst weekend I was less than two tenths of the fastest lap without tow and I am currently 4th in the points only 3 behind 3rd.
