SILVERSTONE โ JG RACING WEEKEND REPORT ๐
After a difficult Donington weekend that saw both #300 and #301 leave with DNFs, Silverstone was all about bouncing back, making progress and getting two cars across the finish line.
And thatโs exactly what we did. ๐ช๐ผ
For Josh in #300, the electrical problems that caused his DNF at Donington unfortunately followed us to Silverstone. We were still chasing the fault throughout the weekend, meaning Josh was having to manage a car that still wasnโt 100%.
Race 1 then brought another setback almost immediately, with contact at the first corner adding to an already challenging weekend.
Despite all of that, Josh kept pushing, kept the car going and came away with two fantastic results:
๐ Race 1 โ P5 in Class B
๐ Race 2 โ P3 in Class B
To bounce back from the electrical issues, first-corner contact and everything else thrown at him and still put #300 on the podium in Race 2 was a massive result.
For Gareth in #301, Silverstone was about something slightly different.
After the setbacks at Donington, the targets werenโt simply based around finishing positions. The aim was to rebuild confidence, trust the car again, complete both races and make genuine progress behind the wheel.
Qualifying left plenty on the table with a 1:25.515, but once the racing started, the pace began to come.
๐ Race 1 โ P10 in Class B
โฑ๏ธ Best lap โ 1:22.822
๐ Race 2 โ P6 in Class B
โฑ๏ธ Best lap โ 1:22.857
Nearly 2.7 seconds found from qualifying to Race 1, two races completed and, most importantly, every personal target set before the weekend was achieved.
But the biggest result was getting the confidence back, trusting the car again and rediscovering the love for racing.
After two DNFs at Donington, both sides of the JG Racing had something to prove at Silverstone.
We leave with four race finishes, a P3 podium for #300, P6 for #301, personal targets achieved and genuine progress across the whole team.
There are still problems to solve and plenty more pace to find.
But this weekend felt like a proper turning point.
#300 ๐ค #301
SAME TEAM. SAME DREAM. ๐โค๏ธ
