WINNER!!!
I've finally done it and won my first race in the northern saloons and sportscar championship..

My first race on saterday wasn't so good practise went ok on friday but in qualifying on saterday I had a missfire so I changed the plugs and it went, started 10th and finished 9th

came back into the paddock to then notice my alternator had failed..no choice but to charge the battery overnight and hope for the best..
Today came and just before we went out it started to rain and snow!!
got a cracking start from 10th to be 5th at the first corner, and then over the next few laps picked them off one by one till i was behind the leader just as I was planing my move he then spun into the gravel allowing me through!!!!

I couldn't see out of the screen and put the heated screen on only for the alternator warning light to shine like a brake light so that was swiftly switched back off!

I held on till what I thought was the last lap when to my suprise the marshalls started clapping so I slowed thinking the race was over, the evo in 2nd then flew past me and I then thought I had made the biggest mistake of my life and set off in pursuit only to be greeted with the chequered flag that lap!! I was fuming!!
got into parc ferme to find out they had forgot to wave the flag at me and had held it out for the evo,(he hadn't seen the flag as he was lapping a car at the time!)

I had actually won!!!!!!!

I then proceeded to jump up and down like a looney!!
The feeling is something else I never though I would ever et to win a race outright but I have and boy does it feel good!
Only bad point is I forgot to put a memory card in the in car camera!
Massive thanks to Matt lewis motorsport for supporting me and reyland for setting the engine up
