With the intention of getting as ready as possible for my Mini Challenge debut next April we wanted to get prep going as soon as possible. So, on the 4th of December I went on a frosty morning to Brands Hatch for some experience in the car and with the new team, Westbourne Motorsport.
Accompanied by Ed Pead, the teams coach, I eased myself into a rhythm out on track, gradually knocking off more time lap by lap building more confidence up in the car. The slick tyres in the cold took a good few laps to heat up but once they did, I took little time to pump in some already competitive lap times.
With the threat of rain holding off the day was highly successful and asides from the cold, it was a very successful first day in car as we look with optimism for 2025.
