Returning back to Oulton Park this year was a great feeling after having such a successful start to my previous year in F3. I had worked hard over the winter break on fitness preparing myself for a three race weekend, which would be a great opportunity for lots of track time.

Oulton Park Round 1
Thursday, April 29th, 2010Oulton Park Race 1
Monday, April 20th, 2009Exciting start to the season. First qualifying session, pole position by 0.4 of a second.
First race, good start, especially avoiding the stalled cars on the grid. Battled with Ollie Oakes, the international car. Let him through, due to being in a different class car. Settled down into a rhythm, got down to some competitive times, (including a fastest time, in lap 7). Visor steaming up due to early morning fresh conditions. Kept on pushing until the end and secured my first national class formula 3 victory, by 20 seconds over Gabriel Dias in second place.
First f3 podium!
Oulton Park Race 2
Monday, April 20th, 2009I qualified 2nd for the 2nd race which was always going to be tricky due to the lack of overtaking possibilities on circuit. The start to the race was good and like the 1st race avoiding slow starters and stallers was the main priority. Battling with Gabriel Dias into the first corner i had to brake suddenly to avoid a spinning Wayne Boyd, unfortunately Dias saw his team mate too late and collected him ending in a barrel roll which brought out a red flag. After the red flag a new race start commenced. I had a good start and kept out of trouble. The rest of the race was fairly straight forward but whilst driving around the car developed a steering issue. I still managed to finish the 2nd race in 1st place again setting the fastest lap.
