7 Favourite Overtakes (from my first season in cars)
Last year was my first season of car racing. The season only lasts about six months and there was a lot to learn! I only had 3 test-days before my first race weekend to learn to drive the car so after that I had to learn pretty much everything within the race weekends themselves.
Last year was my first season of car racing. The season only lasts about six months and there was a lot to learn! I only had 3 test-days before my first race weekend to learn to drive the car so after that I had to learn pretty much everything within the race weekends themselves. I was only 16 and had to somehow be competitive among adults who had years of experience driving cars and racing them. Some drivers had been racing in one way or another for 16 years! As many years as I had been alive!
In my first season, it was all about learning so nobody expected any race wins from me (although getting fastest-lap in the VAG Trophy showed that I was close at the end of the season). Apart from that race where I got fastest lap, my best moments were overtaking. Here are some of the highlights…
Looking back over 2015... My first car-racing overtake and my first ever car race!#YoungestDriver #SchoolboyRacer pic.twitter.com/p7VgsKliTu

A tricky overtake. I got a good exit for the tow then held the outside of the left to own the line into the right. pic.twitter.com/V5Qa5PS2kA

Here is another overtake. In this one the driver went defensive so I swept back to wider line to get the switchback. pic.twitter.com/4rY8KfnDqT

Bonus overtake #2for1deal. For the first pass I used positioning to claim the inside. The second pass was #free :-) pic.twitter.com/x7xp6tt1Wv

After VW Racing Cup my next aim is BTCC, British GT, WTCC and one day Le Mans. Of course I would not rule out F1 as anything is possible.
