๐ฅ Marriott Motorsport Race Day Recap, Northampton International Shaleway ๐ฅ
Saturday marked a huge milestone for Marriott Motorsport, as for the very first time we had all four cars out on track together at Northampton International Shaleway.
๐ The Line Up:
โข Richard #89
โข Tim #428
โข Jake #289, freshly rebuilt and looking incredible
โข Alan F2 #42, making his Brisca F2 debut at 61 ๐
๐ช Alan, #42 F2 Kicking things off in Heat 1, Alan didnโt hang about, straight off the front and into the action. After some great battles, he pulled in to catch his breath and adjust to the pace. In the Consi, he ran from the back, gained valuable clean laps, and brought the car home, just missing out on the final, but a solid debut performance on the shale.
๐ Jake, First outing in the newly refurbished car and straight into Heat 1, Jake brought it home in a brilliant 10th place, securing a spot in the final. When the heavens opened, conditions became incredibly tough, but Jake kept it tidy and consistent, finishing an impressive 6th in the final, his first meeting in 2 years.
โ๏ธ Tim, A frustrating day with mechanical issues. Tangled early in Heat 2, then hit with gear linkage problems forcing a DNF. In the Consi, more bad luck, after getting caught up and losing brakes, it was another retirement. In the Grand National, a strong start was cut short after being pushed wide in slippery conditions, ending his race early.
๐ฅ Richard, Battled hard in Heat 2 before damage forced him to pull up. Came back strong in the Consi, showing good pace and bringing it home to the flag, just missing out on a place in the final.
๐ง๏ธ Overall A day full of promise, progress, and perseverance despite the typical British downpour. Massive positives to take, especially Jakeโs performance, Richard seeing that long awaited chequered flag and Alanโs impressive debut, onwards and upwards.
