X3 Had a great weekend, a lot of heartbreak, blood sweat and tears have gone into making a round this year for us, but on our 3rd engine we made it to Round 4!! And i really have to say the car handles and preforms better than we imagined it would on its first outing!

Saturday we got 3 practice laps, due to bad tires we called it a day, fresh up Sunday morning new tires and 3 practice runs we were ready for qualifying.. This weekend was only a testing for us to get the car how we wanted it and certainly was not expecting to make top 16 due to the talent of drivers this year and it being our first proper testing. We got 3rd overall in qualifying.. Happy Days!!

Superlap came and we had minor wiring issues.. car just decided to cut out.. which left us in 14th and against Shane O Sullivan in top 16, I knew Shane was very consistent this year with podium finished etc.. so it was going to be a good battle, we advanced to top 8 against Alan and had the same wiring problem, called the 5 min rule and John Shanahan ran over to help sort it out, made it back to the line but with a ZERO on run1 we couldn't advance any further.

Overall: Delighted with the new car, excited about Round 5.

Well done to Kieran Hynes on the layout of the track it was excellent!! Sarah and staff for organizing a brilliant weekend! Dave Egan for mastering the mic as always!!
