As part of my preparation for the European Clio Cup Championship I had two competitive races at Nogaro in France, It's traditionally used by Clio Cup drivers as a pre test before the Championship starts in April.
The weekend started with a practice and a qualifying session to determine the grid positions for the 2 races on Sunday. With a grid full of 28 European Clio drivers and former champions for the series I managed to qualify 8th and 7th for the 2 races .
Race one I got a good start that promoted me to 7th with a race long battle for 6th, with the French track being very tight and technical overtaking was going to be a challenge until with 3 laps remaining Daire was able to capitalize on a small mistake to take 6th.
Race two was more the same, with a good start promoting me to 5th and pushing hard for 4th, when a technical issue developed that lost me time and resulted in demoting him to 8th I am very happy with where I came, being my first time at the track and being able to compete with European drivers was an amazing experience and looking forward to testing at Dijon and Magny Cour in the coming weeks. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank my sponsors, Gorilla Design, Glenhaze Distribution and Rygor Autos for their continuing support.
I am now looking forward to the Dijon and Magny Cour before the European Clio Cup starting at Nogaro in France on 19th April.
