Summary
It was a beautiful bright sunny day with temperatures in excess of 30 Celsius! An extra few minutes in the assembly area were excruciatingly hot in the car. Snetterton is a complex 11 turn circuit with a complicated in-field section. However I did manage to get a testing session the previous day. 2×25 min sessions at an eye watering cost of £250 (thanks to MSV) so at £5 per minute I had to make the most of it. Learning a track in just over 20 laps was going to be tricky.
I qualified in 35th out of 47 (8th of 12 in Class C) in a time of 2m21.73s. This put me on row 17 of the grid. The leading Class C car was on row 11.
By comparison the leading ClassC car, Jonathan Packer’s Type R qualified in 21st overall in 2m15.27s.
I finished 31st overall of 39 finishers (9th of 11 in Class C)
Highest position held during the race was 6th. 8th to 9th position was due to racing incident (see video, final corner, final lap)
