My first ever GB3 Race❤️‍🩹 mannnn idek where to begin hahahaha. Ive been working super hard to adapt and build up my experience in the new GB3 car. We made real progress each session and took a personal step forward in qualifying!

Qualified P22 for all 3 races. My main struggle has honestly been building confidence in the high speed sections, to truly trust the aero and in qualy we closed the gap alot in this sector.

butttt unfortunately, on the last lap of qualifying, I touched the exit curb just slightly in the wrong angle and it was enough to give an unsavable oversteer snap in a very highspeed turn 1. I had a heavy hit in the barrier, damaging the car.  Besides a bruised hand and arm, I was fortunately ok. 

This unfortunately meant I had to miss race 1, and also my team elitemotorsport_ had to work overtime🥲 Thanks to them, the car was repaired and ready for race 2 and 3, but at no fault of the team, the car still had some underlying issues that was not fixable in both races so we didn’t have the pace to fight on track. 

Really disappointed knowing a small mistake on my side led to a big crash on the track, essentially ruining our race weekend. Tough lesson to learn but nonetheless, there truly was so many positives to take from my first weekend in GB3 and I really can’t wait to get back in the car in Zandvoort. 

Thanks to the team for the mega job. I came into this knowing it’s going to take time to develop and grow, I’m all in and will continue to push between now and our next race in Zandvoort. Until then, I’m off to the Miami GP so see you all there!! 🧡
