Not really what I would call my best weekend of racing in Castelletto, not everything went wrong but anything that could, did. We had good pace generally just 0.2 secs off the lead all weekend keeping us in the top 10 but many instances of contact during the heats, the difference between using the new CIK FIA front bumper system and not. Everyone in the centre of the field goes wild when there is no fear of a penalty for loading another driver. This transition year of some organisers using the bumper and others not, makes it really confusing for everyone. Had a scary moment on the apex of full speed K1, seeing my teammate Sam McDonnell spun sideways (after an incident with CRG driver) in front of me, no where to go, couldn't change lines....BANG.....sorry Sam. Saturday started with a trip to the local hospital, had a temperature of 39o that wasn't going away so got a check up and some antibiotics, Alex Ferris followed soon after, GWS Alex. Doesn't help the racing any when you're not 100%. The good news is 12th in the final wasn't that bad after everything else and starting at the back in semis. Really enjoyed track walk with Jordan Lennox Lamb and the track talk with Karting Magazine UK, thanks guys. Thanks also to BKC Racing, Rob Dodds, Stanislav Kavarimov for trying to straighten the banana, keep me on the track, better luck next time.
