Best Race / drive and why?
Brands Hatch 2002. This was the final of our championship and I won the qualifying race then after a dire start, fought back up the field to take the win in the main race and claim the championship title.
Worst Race / drive and why?
Castle Coombe 2001 - I'd led for 8 of the 10 laps then a lapse in concentration dropped me to 5th and with only 1 lap to go, I only managed to claw back to 4th. It was my best chance to not only gain my 1st race podium but to take my 1st win and I blew it! Took me another 10 races before I claimed that elusive 1st win...!
Favourite Circuit / Venue
So many for different reasons - Brands is probably THE one though, since it is my local, and scene of my championship victory! Oulton comes a very close second. Internationally - Spa Francorchamps.
