My first attempt in this type of racing so my main aim was to make it to the finnish, get some close experience and keep out of way of trouble.
Definately was worthwhile being on the teamspeak to check over bits with the ones in the know :)
Thanks to Mr Cullen for running with me in practice a bit as I had not managed to get any running with another car before that! Was a help :)
The race went well considering my first go. Set out to finnish and cause no trouble which I think I achieved. Only got caught up once by a spinner infront of me that left me nowhere to go ><
So all in all, enjoyed the experience and will look forward to the main series and will let the competeiveness come to me..if I'm lucky!
Thanks to the organisers and those on teamspeak!

Was my first open wheel race and didn't do as well as I hoped but at least I finnished I guess!
Must of gone for too much wing on my setup because I was being eaten alive on the straights but mighty through the areas where downforce was needed.
Off the start I got a really good initial get away...Too good...came up on a slow starting car infront and in avoiding it spun across the track and clouted the wall before another spinning car came to rest against me...ended up a bit of front and rear suspension damage but the car felt ok...definately missing about a second or so in pace though!
Had a few good little battles but made too many silly mistakes or I would have been in contention for a top 10 I believe.
Enjoyed myself though which is what counts!

Congrats to the podium..
Jumped in this because saw a team mate was running and did not have much to do..just about had enough got to grips with the car to be happy in the tiny practice i had..nowhere near as close to the pace as normally would be but capable of going round!
Until the first corner :/ Couple of people got involved infront of me..avoided first one spinning across me only for the other to come flying back across the track and slam me in the wall, just bad luck really.
Left the car feeling horrible from then on was just a battle to keep it going vaguely straight which i lost a few too many times! Ended up taking the big impact in the rear on a wall and pitted..car felt a bit better after that but a painful race for me!

First lap of both races was a bit mental.
Had some decent pace here but my time in qualifying was far slower than I should have managed, really didn't get a clean lap and when I did I made a mistake of my own *doh*
Didn't amke very good starts in either race which resulted in me getting some nudges in the first turn..first race this spun me however chaos at the hairpin put me back up to 6th..didn't see what happeend there but agree with Dave that standards were poor early on!
Race 2 didn't start any better for me and sorry I bounced into you Dave, didn't have much choice in the matter though!
Was happy with my 5th in Race1 in the end, had a good battle with Steffan and then was catching 4th place but just ran out of time
