BRITISH SUPERSPORT ROUND 5 - Knockhill

It was my first race meeting at Knockhill after missing it last year due to injury, so I knew it was going to be hard but I was confident for the weekend. I qualified 7th EVO which put me in a difficult position for the race so I just had to get a good start and gun it.


Race 1
I got off the line well and was up behind Hipwell and Estment with Daley behind, On lap 3 Daley made a mistake and I passes him but then we came together at Clark's and he went down and I run wide nearly onto the grass and lost my momentum and the gap to Estment, I got past Hipwell and had a battle but he managed to pass me on his Supersport Triumph and I finished the race 6th and I had improved my lap time by half a second almost. I was happy with the lap time but felt I could have ran with Estment and he could have dragged me along to improve my time and maybe I could have had a better result, but hey that's racing!


Race 2
I got an average start and was up behind Webb, Hipwell, Day and Neill I past lap on lap 2 but he got me back at the hairpin and I sat behind him to get dragged up to Day, I was battling with Hipwell and the safety car came out and Hipwell started dropping off under the safety car but I think he had an issue with his bike but then got back behind and off we went again, each lap I was trying to pass Hipwell but couldn't quite get close enough as he could pull away on the straights, I got down to a good lap time of 50.7 which I was pleased with but then 4 laps before the end the bike let go and I had to pull in the pits as it had lost power and was making a strange noise. I was happy with my lap time but I need to up my game and come out the box fast at Brands to rekindle my season and start getting back to winning ways.
