It is with great regret that due to some sponsorship not materialising, I will not be competing in this weekends Renault UK Clio Cup race at Oulton Park. This is a real shame as I have had some podium finishes here 18 months ago when I was last out at a circuit which is near my home town. As you will all be aware, finding sponsorship is extremely hard in today's climate as each round is so expensive, those who know me, know how hard I work behind the scenes working with current and future sponsors to gather the sufficient funding to go racing for the whole year. I am sorry to all my current sponsors which have helped me so much to get me to where I am today, as well as family & friends who planned on having a weekend of racing to come and support me. I am now working extremely hard to gather funding for the next round and beyond at my home circuit, Croft, where I have had previous wins and lap records there at my favourite circuit. Thank you for all your support so far - hopefully this isn't the end as I know with some more seat time after 2 years off, I can qualify near the front and start pushing for podiums. #cliocup #btcc #fitteduk #cliocupuk #oultonpark #reepgroup #apmcustoms #gtechniq #marketingfile #airconditioningaccessories
Tough weekend at @thruxtonracing. Last here 6 years ago in a @ginettacars so very tricky adapting to a Clio and getting thrown straight into qualifying from the go. Sector wise quickest in the slow stuff, just need more balls for the fast stuff. On the plus side we escaped with no damage (although very close - video to follow!). Next stop @oultonparkofficial in 2 weeks for a track much closer to home! Pic courtesy of Jamie Peters-Ennis. 2 wheels becoming a theme 😁

What a weekend. Great first race followed by a disappointing second race in an overall carnage packed weekend. Thoughts are with @billymongerracing after his horrific @britishf4 Crash, hope he is OK. Makes you realise that everyone's weekend could have been a lot worse no matter the results. • #Donington #BTCC #cliocup #cliocupuk
Great race. P7 from P15, avoiding all the carnage (somehow!). Starting P13 in race 2 so hopefully a good race to come! Thanks @networkimages for the shot #BTCC #Donington #cliocup #cliocupuk #reepgroup #marketingfile
Getting ready for qualifying at 2pm! You can watch the live timing here tsl-timing.com #btcc #cliocupuk #Donington
Back to normal after a crazy weekend! Thanks to everyone who has messaged me wishing me luck prior to last weekend and for all the support! What an experience @brandshatchofficial was for the first round of the @cliocupuk. It's a great feeling to be bang on the pace and quicker than last years lap records, crazy to think between the top 24 cars only 9 tenths splits them all up. Starting P10 for the races, the first race in the wet was a challenge with my windscreen steaming up on the green flag lap leaving me with zero visibility - this left me with the hardest laps around Brands never mind the hardest race, the challenge was keeping it on the track and finishing which was a real shame, P20 in that race. Second race was lots better, starting P11 with my second fastest qualifying lap, I didn't have the best of starts off the line and was admittedly hesitant on the first lap as I did want to finish my first race on live television and not go out with a bang like I did last time I was at the track in 2011 with @ginettacars! This put me instantly in a battle which let the front group go, with the lap times so close around Brands right there that was the race over. Great battles and close racing with a train of 6 cars bumper to bumper, just at the wrong end of the field! P17 finish here but lots learnt. Next stop is @doningtonpark on Easter weekend, cannot wait!
