What. A. Weekend!
That was very different to anything i've done on a race track before! I knew it would be the case... but hotlapping and racing are very different things!
Biggest concern for me all weekend was knowing how competitive the series is and how unforgiving the Olympic Park street circuit is. The possibility of coming out of the weekend with damage i'd say is at least 50/50. So was very happy to finish the weekend with a straight car! Definitely didn't fight to the death for any positions but still pushed on and worked my way forward in all the races. My pace was seemingly good enough for about 10th to 15th, so a little disappointing not to get there but the DNF in Race 2 really was what prevented that.
Absolutely amazing weekend, couldn't really be any happier with how it all went. Was interesting to see how my driving ability was against the more "professional" guys I suppose you could say, it's always been something i've wondered over the years so was nice to get an answer to that!
What a track too, so far homebush is my favourite track to drive out of the tracks i've driven. You never get a rest, you are always driving on what feels like the limit. Any mistake and you're fighting to keep it out of the fence, it was a truly tough circuit but very rewarding at the same time!
And Wazza, first time on TV for me so was nervous about that too! Filmed it at 6am so being a teenager I was pretty much 95% asleep but I think it turned out alright!
Thanks everyone for all your support again, been incredible how many people wished me well before the event and even after it so thanks again guys!
