Well, Jamie, you're you're putting your hood up. I've got my hat on because it's raining. Race two, race one, race two, rain, slippery track, eventful.
SPEAKER_00Very eventful. Um, yeah, we started this weekend off massively on the back foot after an engine going in in free practice. So um this bit of rain has evened it out for us and uh managed to call some some some positions back in race two there. So yeah, we we managed to get to top ten from 15th on the grid, and and I think we've just got a better pole. So uh hopefully we can salvage some some more points on this weekend.
SPEAKER_01How tricky is it now there? I mean it's all very well for you know the uh the armchair warriors to say, well just put your foot down and go, but how tricky is it out there?
SPEAKER_00Well on them splick tires it just doesn't disvert any water at all. So it it's you know people will have felt what aquaplane is like on the road, and it's like that the whole race. So I I mean front wheel drive, you shouldn't have opposite lock on down the start-finish trait, and we did, so yeah, I don't think I blinked for most of it, but um uh everyone was in the same boat, so it was a case of just stay on the track and push where you can and and manage the risk all the time. But um yeah, i i th there's no secret to it, it's just be brave and and try and keep it on the black stuff. So hopefully it'll stay wet for race three, and uh but this time we can all run some wet tires and actually have a bit of grit. I've been a good luck out of the weekend so far.
SPEAKER_01Let's hope for a bit more for you as well.
SPEAKER_00Well done. Thank you.
