I had an exciting weekend at the No Limits Racing – Motul ACU National Endurance race last weekend at Anglesey Circuit / Trac Môn. I was a part of the "You 2 are Bullies" team along with David James and Keith Stringer for a 3-hour endurance race.
During the team qualifying on Saturday morning, each of us had a stint on the track. Our best lap time was 1:11.01, which put us in P2 in our class, and we started in row 9 on the grid.
In the afternoon, the race began. We decided on a strategy of longer stints at the start and shorter stints toward the end, with each rider doing approximately 45 minutes before swapping. Unfortunately, a red flag at a crucial moment caused us to lose time. Despite this setback, we were determined to catch up.
After David's stint, we were 42 seconds behind the leader in our category with only 35 minutes left. Instead of risking more time in pit stops, we decided to do a final stint and go all out to close the gap to the leader. As we saw the time gap decreasing on the pit board, we gained belief that catching and passing the team in P1 was possible. With 7 laps to go, we managed to overtake and took the lead in our class.
We finished the race as winners in our class and P7 on the track.
