What a weekends racing in bishopscourt!
Started off on a bad note, mechanical troubles so didnt make it to practice.
Big rush to get the spare car setup for me and get it to scrutiny. All went well, went into qualifying having not driven the track or the car! Managed to qualify 3rd!
First race was great, got to the first corner in 1st, bottled it under the pressure towards the end of the lap, and dropped back a few places, managed to crawl back a couple of places and crossed the line in 2nd!
Second race I was in 2nd for the first 4/5 laps, but bottled it again under pressure with a stupid spin on turn two and dropped back to 5th. Got back up to 3rd for the finish.
Last race was unreal. Myself, Kevin Sheane, Robbie Allen and David Parkes had the race of the day! Serious close racing,Coming down the main straight and into the first corner three abreast! Managed to finished in second!
So to sum it up, three podiums out of the three races on my second weekend as a racing driver!! I thought it couldn't possibly get much better than that.
And then to top it off I was presented over all driver of the weekend by the Bishopscourt officials!! Delighted!!
This is the onboard from race 2.

well done man, savage results for your first year!!
Only hearing good things of your driving lately Tim,Fair play!
Thanks alot, I'm delighted with the results myself, really unexpected!
I've been trying as hard as I can to get my name out there for sponsorship next year! Its an expensive game to be playing!!
Cheers Micky. I think that these cars suit my style of driving, you really have to drive them on the edge and throw them around to get the best results, where as in other classes of racing, the smoother you are the faster you are!
These cars need some abuse!!
So had my first drive of Kirkstown at the weekend. Unfortunately it didn't go as well as I had planned! I think I had put myself under too much pressure after doing so well in Bishopscourt.
So testing, qualifying and both races have been erased from my memory for ever!
Although there are still some good pictures from the weekend!
