Race Report
Following problems the previous day at
the Essex heat Franc N. behaved impeccably in Kent and was running in a
solid 4th position just behind the 3 Bexley Business Academy cars. As two of the
Bexley three qualified the previous day in Essex 4th would have been good enough
to qualify for the final. Unfortunately in the last hour of the race, not one,
but two punctures put the car in the pits for long enough for us to drop to 10th
and out of
contention. We were able to just get the car out in time to complete a final lap
and take the chequered flag. We finished in 10th out of 17 competitors having
completed 75 laps.
Despite disappointment at falling out of the qualifying positions Franc N.
did show that he could keep pace with the best cars and, tyres aside, showed
excellent reliability. Our drivers gained some much needed experience both in
the car, in the the pits and in planning their future race strategies.
