Roger in the carrotsBlimey. That was fun. My return to Snetterton following last years mess was nothing if not eventful. Testing was unusually on Saturday, and with two sessions booked in the morning I set about trying to shake off any fears. Seems I shook them as my times seemed to be up there, and Roger Ford suggested “Grey Good, Green Bad” after the second session. Coming from Roger (later found in the carrot field! - see picture) thats saying something.

Qualy was wet. My last wet qualy, where I changed nothing on the car setup was awful, so this time, I changed everything, and removed all the roll bars and added a couple of PSI to the tyres. P6. Wow. That seemed to work.

Race 1 was so wet, its hardly worth publishing the video, because you won’t see anything. My plan was just to stay on the track, not worry too much about losing places, and hopefully end up with a bunch of points. Finished 11th. Happy.

Race 2 on the Monday was dry. Roll bars back on and engage attack mode. Started from P10, ended up P7. Happy! There were times I was higher than that, and times I was further back. A last lap incident in-front of me gifted 3 places, but those are the breaks. More to the point, I nearly had a repeat of last year, this time caused by me: I went up the inside of David Shaw just as he decided to close the door into Russell. This blew my braking for the chicane, and I tagged Tim Go. Luckily we all got away with it.
