3 years of racing and I've still never won. Round 3 at Snetterton was supposed to be the weekend that changed - and it was, right up until one corner.

This is part 1 of my F1000 weekend at Snetterton: a red-flag-infested test day on tyres that should have been in a skip, a qualifying session I threw away myself, and a Race 1 where I was genuinely quick and still ended up in the grass. No excuses in this one, you'll see exactly what I did.

Part 2 is where it gets properly stupid - a car on fire, a red flag, and my first time leading an F1000 race. Subscribe so you don't miss it.

The car
F1000 — Formula 1000, one of the quickest single-seater categories in UK club racing. Power-to-weight comparable to a Bugatti Veyron, and quick enough to race F3 and GT3 machinery. Running #44 in the Monoposto Championship with Team Mittell.
