    As always an amazing weekend. I'm loving this racing with No Limits :D we were on the international circuit.

    After trouble with my gearbox at Brands I bought a used gearbox straight after the brands hatch round. Being lazy I didn't fit the box til 10th July. The day before the racing. Didn't finish til 9pm lol. Nothing like a bit of pressure! The new gearbox was slick as you like and had no problems with the bike all weekend.

    Saturday was dry all day but we only had 1 race. I came 23rd in race 1. I always mess the qualllifing up then I'm not aggressive enough from the start. My times were similar to mid pack so I know I can do it. Just not enough to bridge the gap.

    Sunday it was raining a lot. But somehow we got 2 races in the dry. Our last race was cancelled, ran out of time.

    Race 2 I came 17th. So small improvements. Had some great battles, no rest lol. Came in with a massive smile on my face!

    Race 3 was a good un lol. I finished 11th. Best result all season. Before you lot say anything it wasn't 11th out of 11 riders :D

    A lot of delays on Sunday with monsoon rain how all my races were dry, there is a God!

    Overall great weekend and onto Cadwell for the next round 8/9th August.
