Birmingham for World Qualifier Round 6

Following a fairly dramatic last meeting at Northampton the team were hoping for a slightly more relaxed meeting this time although the small Birmingham track, 30 nationals and changeable weather still made for an exciting meeting!

	Everything learnt during the afternoon practise session went out the window when the rain came down just before the start of race 1. Opting for slicks was a mistake but Brian still brought the #262 car home in 9th place. For race two the weather was still an issue although the track was now
#262 in action at Birmingham

much drier so the team decided to go for slicks on the outside and wets on the inside. Starting from the rear of the grid Brian made up places throughout the race and came home 12th, narrowly missing out on 11th on the dash to the line. Things looked good in the final and as the race enetered its 11th lap Brian was holding fifth but spun on the entry into turn 1 in his attempts to stick with Ricky Hunn's #639 car. So, a disappointing end to the final but with the next meeting at Birmingham in 2 weeks time we can look to improve the handling for next time out.
