A few of the Scottish Saloons regulars made our way down to Cadwell to race with the DDMC Northern Sports & Saloons at the British Karting GP at the wekend. We were joined by a few other SMRC cars and NSSCC regulars, Paul Brydon's M3, Andrew Morrison's Supercopa and Colin Simpson's Marcos. Race 1 [video=youtube;PBnQmPy-Js0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBnQmPy-Js0=24[/video] Had a good start and got to 3rd but red flag reset the grid and a Metro filled the open space ahead of me on the restart. Another good start but had to back off due to car in front. Finished 4th after a good race keeping a 4x4 Sierra Cosworth behind. Race 2 [video=youtube;geZOkv7p5aQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geZOkv7p5aQ=24[/video] Started 6th again in 2nd race. Good start and got into 3rd after the Metro failed to show for the start. Held 3rd place fighting off the fastest Citreon Saxo in the world and a 4x4 Sierra Cosworth. Saxo got me at Mountain after I went a bit wide. Got very sideways going into Park when braking from 130mph chasing the Saxo. Just held it and went on to the grass. 10 seconds into the "is my car broken" phase, left the door open for the Cossie to go through. Had a good tussle with him for the last couple of laps which included me rear ending him when he missed a gear going into the final corner. Finished 5th. Great weekend, great track, great weather and great company. Well worth the trek down and probably just pips Oulton for my favourite away track so far.
