Rockingham race coming up
Good afternoon visitors,
Soon I’m driving the Formula Renault BARC race at Rockingham which I’m very much looking forward too! Rockingham is different to most other British circuits because it’s build as an oval for the American series Indy Car and Nascar in an attempt to bring the sport to Europe. The circuit used by the Formula Renault championship is of cause not just an oval. The pits is the same though and we do use about a third of the oval. The rest of the track is inside the oval and contains many tricky corners which is a real challenge for me as I’ve done just one test on the circuit. My test there went well though and with new tires and a lap free of trafic and mistakes the data showed I could be right at the front in the dry. I didn’t get to try the circuit in wet conditions in which I have been struggeling this year. My first wet session on each circuit always seems to be in qualifying like on Snetterton and Silverstone. I will do all the preparations possible for me to be quick in the wet as well though, but nothing beats testing and this I can’t afford.
Also I’m moving back to Denmark after the race. I have been working for Antel the past three months. I have learned a lot about the car and being on the other side of the pitwall, but now I want to focus more on my driving and fitness. I think it was very good experience for me as I got to know the team and improve my English speaking and communication with the team in general. It has also given me a good repect and appreciation of the whole team, they all work really hard and many late nights to get our cars ready to race.
