Track was great, weather not so. Well done to all the Silverstone crowd, shame the meeting did not get the weather it needed to match.

Cleaning the car after each run to have a small beach form on my pit table each round was different , but I am sure the sand will work its way off the track with use.

Had possibly my worst bout of bad luck EVER in qualifying in all four of the rounds today (car would not turn "back" on (did not turn it off!!) for 90 secs at the start of round 1 even after doing two warm up laps with no trouble, went on to run 5/6th pace for the 3 1/2 mins I did, round two was just a nightmare with back markers/lapping etc (my best round still though), round three a balljoint popped when landing awkward on the triple overtaking/ovoiding a back marker who was a bit "random" in front of me when on I was on for a top 6 time in round, then took two marshals 3 laps to just pop back on the balljoint (which was brand new at the start of the day to), round 4, ran 2 laps in warm up absolutley fine, went down the straight at the start and went straight on with no steering at all, servo was then fine again after 30 seconds and completed the race with no trouble, but a lap down on the field)

My worst ever result I can remember at a regional which is made even worse by the fact that the car was actually very good on the day, which was really annoying hence why I chose not run my final, but no reflection on the track or the organisers
