  • Join me for the first race of the Mazda MX-5 Cup at Spa which was my debut race in this series!
    Managed to get P2 in qualifying. Race 1 had a reversed grid for the top 10 which resulted in a 9th starting position.
    After a hard but fair battle with Bas Schouten I managed to re-take the lead in the very last lap.

    That over-under overtake that you setup to take P1 again at the last lap I saw coming. Beautiful move to seal the win. Your defensive positioning after Eau rogue is great. The inside line gives you an advantage for 3 of the 4 corners. Also the way you make the car turn in during that fast 4th gear left hander is sublime (forgot the corner name). Good luck man. Keep at it, I will be following.
