Video - Mondello 9th October 2011 - Race 3

This is a video of Race 3 from my car, at the non championship races on 9th October 2011. These races do not count for championship points, and with reduced numbers for each class, the grid was a mix of ITCC, Porsches, Strykers and Global lights. Conditions were almost fully dry, so all cars started on full slicks. On the warmup lap some light rain began to fall, this continued for most of the race. This made it difficult to warmup tyres and achieve some grip. The BMW is quite predictable to handle in these conditions, and I managed to pass the Porsches and finished some 20 seconds ahead of the pack.

Welcome

I compete in the Irish Touring Car Championship ( www.itcc.ie ). This championship is based at Mondello Park, Ireland and caters for production based saloon cars.

In 2010, I campaigned a self built Rover 25 Gti, and impressed despite having the lowest powered car on the grid. I won driver of the year, as chosen by the ITCC sponsors.
In 2011 I competed in ITCC Super Touring in a self built BMW M3, finishing runner up in the championship with one race win and one pole position. I won driver of the year, as chosen by the ITCC drivers.
In 2012 I plan to again compete in the ITCC Super Touring championship, with the BMW M3 refreshed and upgraded.

Race reports for 2011 will be added over the coming days and weeks, and will be added after each race in 2012.
