All Stars Zip Team

I officially drive with the All Stars Zip Team. I am the first girl to join and Luke has designed my kart stickers and suit in my own unquie colours. All my team are great and have given loads of advice xx

Trouble at the grid....

When the guy in front of you doesn't go, all you can do is wait aragh!!!! Today thats exactly what happened to me, novice kart 88 had an engine fault which meant his kart couldn't start up on the grid, leaving me way behind the pack once i finally go onto the track.  I had to quickly catch up to the others in time for the green flag (start of the race).  Its a horrible feeling because your set to go all the adrenal is building up ready for take off.....then u hearts racing because you know everyones out already and you don't want to be left behind.  i've uploaded the clip to youtube so you can maybe see the tension. 

Trouble on the grid

The London Cup

I had a fantasic weekend testing Thursday - Friday then Racing Saturday - Sunday at the London Cup @ Rye House.  The All-Stars Team Coached by professional racing driver Luke Hines was there to give us all support and guidance.  My Kart had brand new graphics and I had a new race suit for the occasion.  The weekend was thankfully dry, everyone raced safely with only one red flag at the final (Ollie crashed into the barrier but after a little ride in the ambulance fine) .  Oh I nearly forgot I won best presented kart throughout the season..... Go Me!!! I got  framed picture of myself and lots of cleaning products for my kart, so i better keep on top of the polishing!!! :)

Enjoy some of the photos from the weekend.

Red Flagged @ Camberley Practice

Today my practice was cut short after spinning off and crashing into the barrier at top speed. I took a corner too fast and was unable to get my kart back on track as I hit the grass and lost control. Unfortunately I hurt my hand pretty bad and was taken off the track in an ambulance, here I was given a splint and my arm was held up with a sling. I was no longer allowed on the track. Instead I had to go for an X-ray! Just some bad swelling and bruising, but no break thankfully. I should be racing next week.
Fastest time around the track today was 27.06 x

I'm off my novice plates

My first time off my novice plates didn't go as planned. My practice lap was hard as I had no air in my tyres (whoops) the other laps didn't get much better after a couple of overtakes I just couldn't get my speed consistent and fell behind, finishing LAST.
Better luck next time.
Off track was however loads of fun I've made some great friends and I'm enjoying my time at the track more and more!!

120 round the hairpin :)

Today I had a Trill Ride Experiance at Silverstone. I went in a Caterham 7.

Bye Bye Novice Plates

I've got all my 5 signatures for my races now so it's off with the black and white plates and onto yellow and black. It's a big deal as I know longer have to start at the back if I get a good qualifying time :)
However no longer a novice means i have greater expectations on my racon so hopefully tomorrow I will give all I have, drive well and get close to the top runners! Check back tomorrow to see how I get on.... Fingers Crossed xx
