Mighty Mini – Race Report – Snetterton

Rounds 7 & 8 saw Team CRS head to Norfolk for a visit to Snetterton Circuit. After the unbearable heat that had preceded the meeting it was fortunately a little cooler on race day.  Caroline managed to get 8th place in first qualifying on Saturday and although faster on Sunday only gained 9^th.

During the first race Caroline found herself once again fighting with the other girls on the grid. Caroline, Penny and Ella kept swapping position at every opportunity down the long fast straights and the sweeping corners of the circuit. It was a new circuit to all the drivers so only car set up and driver skill were of use. At the end of the race Caroline had managed to fight to the front of her pack and finished where she started in 8^th place.

The sun had come back out on Sunday just before the race began, it was going to be warm in the car with the heater on!! Caroline made a reasonable start but found herself passed into Montreal for the first time by Daz.  She quickly fought her way past him at Agostini and set about hunting down Ella. Penny saw an opportunity at the end of the long Bently Straight and pounced going into Brundle demoting Caroline back to 10^th place. After a couple of attempts Caroline repassed Penny and then quickly caught and passed Ella  on the following lap as she made a small mistake coming out of the corner.  She tried to catch the pack in front but they were too far away. She finished the race in a season high of 7^th.
