The car improved vastly over the course of the weekend in Scotland, because now we are in the window that Schnitzer gave us and the window that Moton have said the suspension should be running at and we are improving the car as we go along. The problem is that we are testing in front of 20,000 people and that isn’t ideal, but we will do some solid testing over the winter and my sponsors have assured me that we can do that, so next year, we are hoping to be here and heading onwards and upwards.
I actually had some sponsors with me at the weekend and they were really pleased. They know our situation and know our set-up, they know we have had a massive uphill struggle but make no bones about it, we are trying our best. In the last race, our lap-times were all in the 55’s which is good and we were only a second away from what would have been a really good lap time.
The team are continuing to work really well and they are a great bunch of lads. They are weekend heroes a lot of them, although the Geoff Steel Racing team isn’t – they are professionals and I couldn’t do it without them. We’ve been open to a lot of flak this season but we just knuckle down and say that we are here doing this while others are not. We have broad shoulders us Lincolnshire lads and we will keep going.
In three weeks time we head off to
Brands Hatch and I’m really looking forward to it because we can back-to-back the data with what we have, and it is the first time we’ll have been able to do that. Brands never was my favourite circuit and after April it certainly wasn’t, we came away from there with a real smack in the face! But I’m looking forward to it and also the National Circuit at
Silverstone because there is always close racing.
