Total Trouble Racing

Reflecting back on the Super Classic Pre '99 Formula Ford 1600 Championship race weekend just gone. I really am so proud of both H and Shaws Motorsport There were some real distractions and challenges over the 3 days. H and the team around him kept calm, focused and never lost sight of the bigger picture.
What is so clear to see is that its the team at the forefront. Its "togetherness" and willing to go the extra mile is then really allowing the drivers to florish.
I would also say just what a friendly and helpful race paddock it is. They race damn hard, but there is a lot of banter and respect too.

Race report from Mallory park.
Very good grid for the United Formula Ford series.
H's goal was just bag some good championship points really.

In TQ H secured an impressive 8th. Not able to match the newer, but being less than 9 tenths of the pole sitter was a credible.
Strong start in race 1 and settled in running nicely on the back of the lead pack. H caught a lapped car at really bad point and fell off the back of the pack, with a slight misfire hampering any fight back. Still 7th was a good result. Along with a good fastest lap in his class of 49.2

Few tweakes and Race 2 was upon us.
This time after another good start, H was in the fight, the top two broke away, but the ŕest of the pack then had a huge scrap over the last podium spot.

Good pace again and H finished 6th overall. Our BEST result yet in this national series.

Huge thank you to Shaws Motorsport for the car suupprt. A massive well done to peter and Grace Bates top driving all day by both.

Thank you so much James Beckett Motorsport
For the day plus all the team at Mallory Park Circuit
Big thank you to our partners

New first for H. Under the supervision of Mark from Shaws Motorsport, H stripped down his first engine. Learning all the basics is just as important for H as the racing. He has the rare privledge of being surrounded by so many amazing people keen to share their knowledge.

Work never stops. After a very busy week getting ready for this weekend, the Shaws Motorsport team and H were back out. The team had a number of cars to run in prep for the weekend. While H worked with Dave to get the Reynard back to its best after 2 tough rounds at Oulton. Still work to do, but the Grey Fox is looking good.
