The first round of the Max5 season has been and gone.
a 30 car grid and a rolling start live on Motors TV with a lot of new drivers assured a fun spectacle with the ussual respect given by the driver to each other.
RACE 1
The new boys from the MA5DA series have joined us for a few rounds and the cars seamed very similar to the max5 regs ( the ECU mods had been removed along with the brake bias controls)
The Mk3 class was won by J Halliwell with David Chapman 2nd and Clive Bussey 3rd
Paul Roddison was unfortunate to blow his 2nd engine in 2 weeks…Ouch!
The Mk1’s were won By Amy Barker who has come over after a few year with Ma5da racing, Rob Chilcot was 2nd and Chris Bexon 3rd
I qualified 11th and finished 10th and theres plenty of the Mk1 action on my video as I was sandwiched between them. Id never driven Donnington before and I was pleased with my times

RACE 2
Another rolling start saw the 30 car bearing down into Craner Curves and the 2 faste Mk1 drivers tried to use the slower Mk3’s(me) as buffer. It took some time to edge them back behind me until the final corner !
I was holding 10th the chucked it away with a big lock up and ended up 18th…
