I went to do the Race League at TeamSport Bournemouth and it was really interesting and fun! After qualifying, they put us into teams of 3, and the teams were based on where we qualified. Then all the points from the team decide who wins, which I thought was a really cool idea.

In qualifying, I kept swapping between 1st and 2nd place with Zach, which was exciting. But right at the end, Josh did an amazing lap out of nowhere and took P1. That meant I ended up starting P3. I was a bit disappointed, but starting 3rd can actually be good if you get a strong start.

In the race, I got a great start and managed to get up to P2 by corner 2! I was really happy with that. But it didn’t last long because I went a bit wide on the last corner and left the door open, so I lost the place again.

The biggest problem was when my own teammate spun me out on a corner and I crashed into the wall. That sent me all the way to last place and probably cost our team the win. The race even had to be red flagged because I hurt my leg and knee quite badly (and I’ve got the marks to prove it!).

Even though I was hurt, I carried on racing and managed to get a few places back, which helped our team finish P2 in the end.

I really liked the team format because it was different and exciting, but next time we definitely need to work better together as a team! 🏁
