Oulton Park (Fosters)

 

26th July 2003

 

Tested on Friday morning, but due to appalling weather conditions only got 2 laps in 2nd gear. Great value for only £130... The session was then cancelled. 

 

Qualifying

This was dismal, I simply could not get up to speed, finishing the session over 4 secs off pole in 12th place.

 

Race

I did not go much better, due to the out lap also being the green flag lap. Only about 1/4 of the drivers knew this, so the start was chaos as these lucky drivers disappeared into the distance. I was dead last into the first corner. After 3 laps, while passing another car, I was pushed onto the grass at around 130mph, but luckily I slid back onto the track without any major dramas. This cost me 2 places and the car handling felt strange, so I pulled into the pits for a damage check just as the race was red flagged for another incident elsewhere. I managed to make the restart in last place minus my engine cover. I finished in 10th place from 11 finishers, 3.7 secs off the fastest lap. The race had 5 separate incidents, with many Monoposto cars going home in body bags. The race won by Jonathon Lewis.
