By race time, the track is now fully dry and the world is a warmer place to be in! We have adjusted tyre pressures to what we think will put us up to 38 psi hot as we now have a proper chance to get heat into the rubber.

Standing start (a first for both Glenn and I) and Glenn makes a clean getaway passing a stalled starter and the field makes it through the first turn. However Snetterton has the longest straight in the UK at over 900m so our distinct lack of power (we estimate 120 bhp max) means that the field simply pulls away from Glenn and this proves to be very difficult to overcome for the whole race. But boy oh boy are we quicker through the corners. Any car that passes us on the straight and gains about 50m or less on us before they hit the brakes for the Esses will dramatically hold us up through the Esses, Bomb Hole and the chicane and not only until they hit the front straight will they easily pull away again. We will lose 2 secs per lap off our lap time due to this each time it happens as the corners are a strong suit for us but the straights are stronger suit for every other car! Frustrating indeed.

Glenn was in the middle of it at times.....
