DadsNLads have crossed the finish line of the Birkett 6-Hour Relay! ๐ช๐ผ
It might not have been the competitive finish weโd hoped for, but given the challenging weather conditions and the cars we had available, we can certainly hold our heads high! ๐
Jack kicked things off, putting us in the top 10 on the grid and P1 in class. However, once the place was handed over to Ray, things quickly became more complicated than expected. Just 30 minutes into his stint, Ray had to pit with a puncture. Andy took over, but unfortunately suffered a spin which caused a fault with the car, limiting him to a 30-minute stint. This knocked us further down the grid, but sometimes thatโs just how racing goes!
Next up was Jordan, who clearly had โSpin Me Right Roundโ playing on repeat in his head, taking a few cheeky turns along the way! ๐ Despite the challenges, he managed to work his way back up the order before handing over to Matty.
In a rear-wheel-drive car, Matty kept his cool ๐ and tackled a two-hour stint in some seriously challenging conditions. With visibility getting worse as darkness set in, he brought the car home safely, crossing the finish line 44th overall. ๐ letโs not mention the overtake .jacko pulled out in his KA ๐คซ
Unfortunately, we also had to withdraw George from the race following practice, where the conditions highlighted just how difficult the car was to handle. With safety taking priority, it simply wasnโt worth the risk.
Although the results werenโt what we came for, the biggest takeaway is that we had a brilliant laugh as a team, gained some valuable seat time and made the most of a seriously challenging day.
Sometimes motorsport isnโt about the trophies or the finishing positions. Itโs about the people, the experience and the stories you take home with you. โค๏ธ
A huge well done to everyone involved, and the supports who come along with the way ๐
Until the Brands Hatchโฆ.bring it on! ๐ช๐ผ๐๏ธ
