Hello again! A quick update ahead of the Donington weekend…
On the Monday after Thruxton, I flew out to Majorca for a bit of a ‘training camp’. It was a cycling holiday with a few mates, but it was good to get away for a few days.
It was just a few days though, and it seems to have been non-stop since then.
Whenever we come here, I seem to be able to do a 48.9. We just cannot get past that at the moment, but the Airwaves BMW is really fantastic. I feel we can race a lot better than the Vauxhalls. I think that come the end of the race, we’ll be in much better condition than them.
There’s just a couple of days to go until Brands Hatch now, so it’s almost time for the talking to stop and the racing to begin. I’ve just come back from the gym tonight, so my preparation for the new season is in its final stages.
To be quite honest, testing has been fantastic. We tested at Rockingham on media day and we were left scratching our heads a bit as to how Colin Turkington had gone so quick in his BMW. But it’s subsequently become clear that he perhaps wasn’t running the right weights.
After Rockingham we went to Snetterton and then Brands Hatch. We had some good setup data for Brands from when we were there before, and also from last year. I’d done a 49.1 when we were there previously, but we had no-one to compare it to, so it was good to go quicker with a 48.9 when everyone else was there too.
