Raced Silverstone last weekend, which was a first for me!

Unfortunately I had issues (car would not always go into 3rd gear when changing down from 4th) which compromised my pace, but I made it thought both races finishing 14th and then 12th.

One of the few passes I managed into Brooklands:

In addition to getting the gear box sorted over the winter, I really need to get to grips with the handling of the car. Power and braking are fine, but it understeers terribly and can be squirrelly on the brakes, so need to really focus on that to increase my pace.
