After a long winter break the new season commenced with a double header round at Snetterton circuit, one of the fastest tracks on the calander!

Having never driven at Snetterton, I decided to book a half day test session in order to learn the track and get to grips with the demands of the track. Also since my last race at Mallory Park in 2008, I had done a lot of work to the car, more so on the electronics and pedals, seating position. It was almost like starting again. I arrived nice and early at the track, and was joined by Stuart, who has worked with some Formula Ford teams in the past.

Testing did not start untill after 13:30, so we went through the car, did all the usual spanner check, applied the champinship decals, I also went through again to check all the setting for my digitals display and data logger were correct. Having discusses tyre pressures with Stuart, it was decided that I should use 16psi front and rear. All other suspension settings were left alone at this point, as the objective was to out and get a feel for the car and how its behaving.

Mallory Park 2008 - Round 4 - Monoposto Championship

It has been a long time coming, but I finally managed to get the car to Mallory Park for Round 4 of the 2008 Monoposto championship. I always knew it would be a difficult first race after a 9 year break. The car is being looked after by Castaldini Engineering who are based in Warwick. Having bought the car at the beginning of April, few bits needed to be done, most importantly seat to be made up, which was done few days before by Myles. Unfortunately due to work commitments I did not have any time to any kind of test not even a shake down!
