On the podium at Sonama! After a season of extremes (we seem to either win or have a disaster...) it was nice in a way to have a 'normal' time at Sonama with a result was was simply just 'good'.
After we struggled a little in race 1(onboard video coming soon), some setup changes for race 2 definitely made a big difference, which was also pretty satisfying :)

Bathurst was a week of promise but disappointment for us. Pace seemed strong and the car felt really good around the amazing circuit, but a mistake from me spoiled race 1, and a mistake from someone else spoiled race 2.
As always in racing, we focus on the positives, learn from the negatives, and move on!

Victory at VIR! ☝🥇🏆
Despite only grabbing an hour and a half practice and throwing a 'best guess' setup on the car (we were away on holiday until Sunday night), Race 1 at VIR gradually came to us until a last-lap move gave us the lead and the win!
Race 2 started in much the same vein, but a scruffy second lap with some contact and spins put us down the order. Recovery to 7th was all we could manage.
Still, another win feels fantastic! Maybe I should just guess the setup and jump in at the last minute every week...? 😅

Great pace at Long Beach, but a mistake in each race left us heading to the pits and out of the top-10 each time. The perfect time to head off on a family holiday to relax, recharge, and come back stronger for the second half of the championship. See you next week at VIR!

A tale of two recovery drives at Laguna Seca. Poor qualifying performance put us back in the pack, but we were able to work our way forwards both times. Unfortunately, contact always ruined what could have been - ironically caused by the same driver in both races! (Spinning me out in a late dive in race 1, then doing the same thing to the driver in front of me, causing me to hit them in race 2).
Still, two solid results is better than a DNF. Onwards to Long Beach!

A solid return from Road Atlanta last night, if rather unspectacular by our own high standards. Both races were fraught with a fair amount of carnage which I was happy to simply survive quite honestly! I struggled with the car on the most important corner on the track, meaning I simply didn't have the pace to be at the very front this week. So taking that into account as well, I'm pretty satisfied. Onwards to the next one!
Race 1 onboard coming soon.

WE DID IT AGAIN!!! 🏆🥇☝️️🏁
After making steady progress towards the front, a 4-wide move on the last lap of Race 2 at Watkins Glen gave us the lead, and the victory! What a feeling! You can re-watch the live broadcast here; youtube.com/live/DxRb0CZtiGU?si=Ad8qJ0zzF4u5kIsn
Race 1 was a bit more of a physical affair but still a solid result. Our race onboard video from that one will be available on our YouTube channel this evening for your viewing pleasure 🙂

Back on top in a top-split broadcast race!
We're re-creating the 'olden days' by competing in the @iRacingOfficial MSUK ff1600 trophy this season and running two races every Monday evening; the second of which is broadcast live by the good people at @maconientertainment.
Yesterday's round 3 at Summit Point Raceway started solidly with some good qualifying pace, but losing-out in the slipstreaming battles. Then for the broadcast we made some small changes to the car which worked well and we took the WIN! Check out all the action here: youtube.com/live/1Ky9ENeQG2Y?si=AVtBy3Ovlpke0MJG

So, my #f1movie thoughts?
Absolutely fantastic, thrilling and action packed proper Hollywood blockbuster! And that it's so well integrated into real life F1 is such an achievement. Loved it from start to finish 💯👍
I've seen the inevitable nit-picking, but I thought there were genuinely only two moments that stood out to me as 'that's not right' bits - and neither spoiled the film at all.
But the bottom line for me is it was a massive success and a hugely entertaining piece of cinema. If you want to watch a 100% accurate and true-to-life version of F1, go watch a documentary. Or, you know, maybe ACTUAL F1 😅
