Well racing finished at the beginning of November, and saw the end of a season where I had my first crash while racing, I won my First (and last for the rest of the year) Clubman 600 Race, I dropped my PB by 2.2 seconds, I constantly got into the 62's, despite problems sourcing tyres, as well as using three different tyre brands across the year.

Well after some prompting, decided I would add another chapter to the cluttering of the interwebz.....
