Here's the race report for Donington Park over the weekend.

Sunday race day

Overnight we sorted a few things from Race 1 and found a direction with the set-up.

Warm-up went well, with our quickest lap time of the weekend so far.

In the sprint race we set off well and had a good battle all race long. Our fast Aussie surprised us all with an amazing performance, securing a PB with a 1:29.1 and moving up a row on the grid for Race 3.

Race 3 unfortunately wasn't to be… we hit a technical problem on the out lap, which meant a non-start.

All in all, it was our best weekend in terms of the work everyone put in and the progress we're making.

Now we look forward to Brands in two weeks, where we have some new settings to try.
