“Today has been a big disaster if I’m honest. We had a great day yesterday and throughout every session my race pace was really good. We did a practice run Friday and my time would have been enough to win the opening race. “Starting from 15th in race two didn’t help and the new engine we used was a slightly different specification to the one we had used all weekend, which meant the engine braking and throttle connections were different to before. “It was a hard-fought battle in the race and for some reason we were also suffering from quite bad chatter but we still came home in fifth. It’s frustrating as I believe we could have had two wins today but we can move on to Oulton ready to make amends.”
