I get my arse kicked at Worksop too Stegger but its easy to forget that you are racing against some of the best drivers not just in the UK, but in the world at that series.
My best advice for newer drivers is a slow car is a fast car. If you drive smooth and dont crash then the results will look after themselves. Sometimes its easier said than done when the addrenaline is pumping. Try to drive at a speed that you are comfortable with rather than pushing and crashing. At club level, i use the strategy to good effect
