GB4 Championship — Brands Hatch GP Report

Mixed weather condition and mixed fortunes for the Laser Tools Racing GB4 team at Brands Hatch on the weekend: Logan Hannah: Having missed the Friday test on the Brands Hatch Indy circuit (the weekend’s racing would be on the longer GP circuit), I was keen to hit the ground running!A strong showing in qualifying and a possible lap that would have put me in P4 was just the confidence boost I needed ahead of the three races. Ultimately finishing P6 in qualifying, after having my best lap time disallowed for track limitsRace 1:Starting P6, I was looking to make use...

BTCC Thruxton (2) — August 27-28

Hot and sunny at Thruxton Circuit for our second visit of the season. This is the only circuit where there is an exclusive tyre that isn’t run on any other race venue. This is due to Thruxton’s high speed, subsequent constant loading on the tyre all around the circuit and the very abrasive track surface. Because of this it is crucial to manage the tyres that you are using throughout the weekend. On the Saturday for the first practice session we therefore decided to run on previously-used tyres to check on the notoriously patchy reliability of the engine and hybrid...

BTCC Snetterton — August 13-14

Snetterton in Norfolk — very hot and very dry and dusty. During qualifying we seemed to be suffering with an engine issue that left us down on power and that ultimately left us down on top speed. This is an issue at Snetterton where there are two very long straights on each lap. Despite assurances from M-Sport (the engine suppliers) before the session, it was clear that all was not as it should be. There is nothing we can do during a session about this, but we worked with them to put things right before Race 1 on the Sunday....

Sunday 12th June the Laser Tools Racing Rally Team were at Grafton Underwood for the Rex Pets Flying Fortress Stages the 3rd round of the 2022 championships. Being one of our favourite venues we were really looking forward to doing it and even though we flew back from holiday on the Saturday night we were still up for the days challenge. The day was a hot one as it usually as on this event and with 71 entries there would be some great battles throughout the field. Stage one saw us positioned at 14th overall and 3rd in class and as...
