With the Production BMW season already over, I couldn't resist the lure of the Silverstone GP circuit with the Toyo Tyres Racing Saloons series. And with 36 Production BMW cars entered, it was pretty much like a normal race weekend.
Qualifying was pants. Keen to make the most of my tyres while they were at their best, I tried to get up to speed quickly and promptly threw it off at Priory on lap 2. Managed to straighten up and head straight across the gravel trap onto the National straight. Still needed to snatch 2nd and power out the other side though. The kitty litter is a lot more effective at slowing BMWs than F1 cars it seems! Thereafter, I couldn't get my head together and the massive wheel wobble was distracting.
I got lucky to qualify 3rd of the PBMWs. Even luckier to be at the front of group B and pole position for the first race on Saturday. It was a nice feeling, leading the pack around the GP circuit on the green flag lap.
