Castle Combe Review

Racing in the penultimate round of the F24+ season representing GDS Racing, we had one of the more promising races to date at Castle Combe.

The day started with an issue concerning belt tension but with some pre race tweaking this was soon sorted. This came at a cost though as it meant we missed the grid by a matter of minutes, causing us to start nearly a lap behind from the pit lane.

Luck was however, for once, on our side! With a time keeping problem race control arranged a re start allowing us the chance to start from the grid and within a few laps had taken 12th of 17.

This form continued until I missed a signal to pit and as the batteries didn't have the power to bring me back around recovery was needed. This along with a battery change cost a lot of time, but then as I pulled away to get back onto the track the electrics cut once again. The problem was actually due to a connection issue but once sorted M6 was back on the track, unfortunately only with enough time for 1 more lap, ending the day with us in 14th. We weren't able to gain any points but the pace was good so hopefully we can have a good race at the final.

In the end 1st place went to Chipping Sodburys R-PodS followed by Zebedee and Brian of Sandbach School, putting R-PodS now joint top alongside Driven Motion on 20points with Myton Racing II 3rd on 18. It could go either way and with a few teams on 16 theres a small chance they could also emerge at the top in 2 weeks at Goodwood, but from the form shown by the leaders its going to take a lot to beat them!
