"We'd made a change to the car and I was meant to go out and do two laps with it to see if it worked," he said. "The only problem was that I only managed to do a lap and a half!
"Coming round the long left-hander behind the pits I just made a slight mistake and lost the back end, and the next thing I knew I was stuck in the gravel."
Saturday am – Early issues for Alonzo
First free practice at Rockingham saw a slow Honda Integra circulating in the hands of Alan Taylor, and it didn't take long for the Robertshaw man to find himself watching from the sidelines.
Initial concerns about a gearbox failure looked like being wrong, with Taylor hopeful of making it out for the second session.

"It's a bit frustrating to have a problem, I just need some time in the car."
