Default Two Podiums at Donnington

Had a great weekend at Donnington in the caterhams R300 superlights.
Qualified 4th and should have done better, pole was within reach.

Solid second in the first race with a full on battle to hold position for 20 minutes. Leader got away by 5 seconds.

Second to first off the line second race, changing of positions throughout race, last lap in the lead second from last corner, driver had a small lock up into the hairpin and lost position so in the end another second.

best results of a very hard season.

We are competing against very well financed drivers in professional teams (they pay more than my entire build budget just for support in one weekend), the guy we beat to 2nd in the first race rocked up in a 2 year old ferrari gives you some idea! The guy in 3rd ex F3000 driver.

So all in well chuffed finally have the handling absolutely nailed in the top flight of 7 racing!
