I cannot remember a time that I have been this excited for a race weekend. Must be back in my Cadet Karting days when sprint racing was new to me. Because now as my first endurance race draws near it is something totally new to me and I can?t wait.
Always on the week leading up to a race there is a lot going through my mind as I run through all the things I need to do right during the weekend. However they are things I know about.
This week though it?s all new, pit stops, pit lane speed limits. Getting out quick, helping my team mate get in etc etc.
Racing for 45 minutes, an hour the following round 90 mins one after. My longest race before now is 20 minutes.
How quick do I go? Usually the lights go out and I have to go flat out until I see the Chequered but now tyre wear, fuel economy etc.
Fortunately I have a really experienced teammate in Alan Bonner who raced the GT2 Corvette C5R last year, so I will be asking a lot of questions during testing and will be all set for Sunday?s race.
