New race car sounds awesome Shimmy and Alex that looks like terrific fun. 2016 was my first year as a racing driver after joining the Caterham Academy, unbelievable good fun and a great bunch of guys, we were all novices although some were very good. Managed 5 podiums and 3 lap records, best was a 2nd and finished 3rd overall so pretty pleased. Made loads of mistakes though but was to be expected I suppose. For 2017 I've skipped roadsport and tracksport and gone straight to Supersport (actually called 310R championship now). This is the highest I can upgrade the Academy car. Qualifying is 20mins and 30min races (2 per weekend). The drivers are far more experienced in the 310R championship so expect to get my arse royally spanked but will be a great learning curve. We are racing at:-
Snetterton 300
Spa
Brands Indy
Donington
Oulton
Rockingham
Silverstone International
So we have a great calendar which I am so looking forward to.
