The penultimate meeting of the year was at Anglesey, on the International configuration rather than the usual Coastal circuit we have used in the past. The weather was very windy all weekend, which made predicting the tyres required very difficult, and had an impact on the driving of the car.

The week leading up to this race was quite stressful and difficult – first of all our Race Truck developed a fault on the way to a test session at Silverstone that wasn’t fixed in time, and Tony Bishop, our other driver, had to pull out of the meeting due to personal reasons at the very last minute. We had already loaded up the van and trailer to take both of Tony’s cars to the circuit, but we needed it to take my own car, so there was some hasty unloading and reloading to do on the Thursday.

GarlandA fortnight after the disappointment of Thruxton (where I cleverly turned pole position into a second place via 29th position and the lead, in the space of a dozen laps) we set off for Anglesey, the farthest track from us in the UK.

Another circuit that we haven’t been to with the Dallara that both Timms and Harrison have been to several times with theirs. Thus we arrived with a realistic frame of mind, hoping for a win but knowing that I would be very difficult to actually achieve. The usual preparation showed nothing that was unduly concerning, other than a slight bulge in the floor and plank possibly caused by the Thruxton kerb launching incident (although the bulge might have been there before and I just hadn’t noticed it!). We tried to rectify it as well as we could, but it’s still there, so we have to run a slightly higher ride height than we’d like.

Anglesey Circuit Map

In a week’s time we’ll be well on our way to Anglesey for the third and fourth round of the 2010 Monoposto championship. Last time we ventured that far west for racing was in 2008 with the Reynard 883 during our championship challenge, and we came away with two class wins, two class poles and two class fastest laps.  We missed 2009 because it was too far to go with a new car and no championship ambitions, but 2010 demands it. Of course, I hope to repeat my class domination of 2008, but Jeremy is never easy to beat, and so far this year we’ve not make life easy for ourselves either, whether it be a ‘technical’ failure (Brands) or a ‘driver’ failure (Thruxton).
