On Saturday, in the 13.5T category, I was eventually able to claim the 3rd and final podium spot, after a good run in the single final. Unfortunately I struggled a bit in qualifying, and could only manage 8th on the grid - but I was definitely happy to move up in the final standings. Jimmy Maddison had a very good day in the office as he qualified 7th and was on for a good finish in the final as well, until a mistake sent him down the order. Luke Burley made the main final as well with his X12'17!

In the faster 6.5T Modified class that was run on Sunday, I immediately found a good pace, and could fight for TQ in every round of qualifying. I eventually missed out narrowly on the TQ, but could move up into the lead early on in the final. I held the lead until the finish line, which would reward me with my 3rd win this season! It was certainly a good ending to the weekend, and a good "warm-up" for the upcoming European Championships!
