With three remaining rounds left in the Ginetta G20 Championship, it was vital for me this weekend to finish ahead of Spencer McCarthy to close in on the championship lead.
Having qualified on Pole Position, i was confident in race one, and after a 1st lap safety car, the race was now underway. I managed to break the tow from Spencer, and pulled out roughly a 4.5 second lead as the trace progressed. However, on the last lap, the clutch jammed itself against the clutch stop, and i had no drive, my lead was gone as i coasted down the back straight into the abbey.
I managed to pull the clutch out and still finsih 3rd, however this is a sheer disappointment from what looked like a certain race win.
The second race was another Ginetta heated battle between myself, Spencer, Julian Barrat and Andrew Smith, I finsihed 2nd 0.03 off the winner Spencer, after a last lap move around Woodcote.
The gap has increased at the top and now it looks very difficult to close in with only four races remaining, however, it?s not over, until it?s over!
