Third time’s the charm! After two non finishes we managed to pick up a podium in NLS 10. 🏁

Challenging stint for me fighting for position with faster classes at the start before settling into a rhythm towards the end.

After handing over, we stayed competitive with the leaders throughout to finish P3.

Awesome to end on a high note, thanks to the team for all their amazing efforts all year.

Well done to @haarnisadiqracing on the weekend - front running pace and a couple of well deserved rookie podiums! 🏆

Has been a rollercoaster of a year for us in @britishf4 but I couldn’t be prouder of the effort that he and the whole team has put in to keep improving.

I also want to thank Haarni for trusting in me and the work we’ve been doing throughout the year despite all the challenges thrown our way.

One more to go ☝🏼

My first interview in German! 🇩🇪

As I alluded to in my last post, a really cool thing to come out of last weekend. Still a long way to go but proud of the progress I’ve made!

Thanks @lukasgajewski for looking after me 🎤

Last weekend I was back at the Nurburgring for the NLS 8 and 9 double header weekend. Coaching on the Saturday and performing double duty on the Sunday. 😇

The car was absolutely flying when I jumped in for quali, my first lap of the weekend putting us P3 despite a yellow flag and older tires. So I knew we had a shot at victory, unfortunately just as I went for a nap to rest up for my stint, we were involved in an incident on the second lap putting an early end to our day.

On the bright side, I gave my first interview in Deutsch! Was about twice as nervous as when I was driving but so grateful to @dr.bob3001 and @lukasgajewski for the opportunity. 🙏

Thanks to my teammates and the whole team for all their hard work and I hope we have the opportunity for redemption at the final round of the season.

Don't strangle the wheel please.

One of the things I see regularly when coaching drivers is too much tension through the hands and arms.

It’s natural — you’re trying to keep the car under control.

But the more you tense up, the harder it becomes to feel what the car is actually doing. And when you're driving on the limit, that can genuinely reduce your ability to control the car.

Next time you're on track, try consciously softening your hands, relaxing your arms and see what changes.

It might feel strange at first.

And no, you don't need to strangle the steering wheel. It isn't going anywhere. 😂

What do you notice when you relax your hands?

What could’ve been…

Took the lead from the first lap and never looked back until an engine issue forced us to retire the car 45 minutes in. 😔

Mostly feeling sad after this one tbh, losing an opportunity to get the team and everyone involved a much deserved victory after all the hard work. And my teammates not having a chance to turn a lap in the race.

Bugger.

But we will be back. 👊🏻

Life’s been a whirlwind recently so I’m a few weeks late but yes I did drive a car up a hill.

My first @fosgoodwood as Development Driver with @nicholscarsltd was unreal! Can’t thank the team enough for the faith they put in me, what an experience 😋

Handing over to @stefanjohanssonofficial was a pleasure. One of the highlights of the weekend was introducing him to the N1A.

Another sticker on the old lid 👍

Not my normal perspective 🤳

We were well looked after by the brilliant Marshals and Staff at the event. Couldn’t of done it without you 🫡

Unleashing 700hp up the hill is something I’ll never forget! Already hyped for next year 👊🏻 taken in Goodwood Festival of Speed by @barthorsten_
