Tim was the biggest mover in today’s race, jumping up a whopping 9 positions to finish in 16th. He recaps the day below.
TIM
“The car was really good in todays race, we had the pace we’ve been looking for all weekend. We just need to work on qualifying to start further up as it’ll make the battle to move forward that little bit easier!”
“Yesterday we threw a few things at the setup which made a couple of improvements in the car. Overall we’ve learned a few things from the weekend even if the results weren’t the best. Good, consistently fast cars and staying out of trouble has equalled a good result today.”
