So, where to start
This last weekend as some might know was the 2nd race (start 2 and 3) in the Porsche Sports Cup Scandinavia in Finland and this time it was at Ahvenisto, which is a technical circuit that takes no prisoners with limited space for error!!!
This was a two day event with training on the Saturday and the main race on the Sunday. The team turned up early to get set-up and comfortable on the Saturday, and all was feeling good as the sun was heating things up and making us feel good...
The first practice of the day started and all was going good until lap 7, when all went wrong and I ended up in the tire wall - I would like to find every reason in the world to say it was not my fault, but at the end of the day I am sure it was down to driver error...
All in all (apart from my pride) I lost just the one radiator and did some cosmetic damage. I spent the remaining part of Saturday and parts of Sunday morning replacing the radiator and undertaking some "big hammer" alterations to the damaged body panels, and got it all done in time for qualifiers (with thanks to my team mates and others who helped to get things supplied and installed in time).
I completed the two starts and came in 2nd in both of them and as a nice bonus to the weekend, I am now standing overall 3rd in the Porsche Sports Cup Scandinavia and 1st in my class...
What a great (but expensive) weekend racing!!!!
