I qualified 4th, start of the race was not great. The day had got cooler so the engine tuning was off. I had to pit 2-3 times to make adjustments. It was flying then but I went too deep into chicane and hit the gate. Car was put back on but going a bit mad with interference so I'd no control of it. It went off last corner, Marshall put back on but again was out of control, I accelerated to get out of the way of other cars coming through, with the interference I hit the pitlane sleeper ripping the front left hand corner off the car. Game over.

I think it was a not fully charged battery that caused the problem.

Unfortunate.....

At the end of the day it was my own fault in not having the battery charged.

Yea with Orca, racing is good but we need to sort out some basic issues. Theres been a decline in the numbers this year but last year there was easily 16-20 1/10 drivers, this year barely making 10. The 1/8's have got more popular

Theres a big day up north this weekend for electrics as part of a 3 round series, http://www.itcseries.com/

Fantastic facility but its tough, probably too tough for beginners. Theres a lot of jumps and it takes time to get used to them, unfortuately going from Car to Buggy to Car makes it difficult to get back into a driving rythm as its an art.

I think the lads are looking into it though.

 

driving on the road is ment to be an art too....
