Job done! It's amazing what a break can do - my car is finally properly setup, the new radio is working well, and that all translated to a personal best of 22 laps in the first heat. Heats 2 and 3 were worse, but I steadied the ship in the B final to chalk 2nd place with 21 laps, ahead of Roger and new lad Jack, both of whom didn't finish (poor Jack didn't even start) due to electrical problems.

My driving style has transformed - I used to barrel into the corners, and was in general much too trigger-happy. Last night, I was finally using the throttle properly.
