2014 season drawing to a close

Next weekend sees us arrive at the final round of the 2014 Caterham Roadsport Championship. It’s hard to believe that we’ve reached this stage. Snetterton only feels a short time ago, yet we’ve crammed in so much since that weekend back in April.

After the adventures in Croft last time out, I’m now in second place in the championship and, with the way the scoring system works, the chances of me winning outright are pretty much gone. However, there is still very much a fight to be had for 2nd and 3rd place and that’s got to be my primary goal going into the weekend.

Silverstone is such a lottery in a Caterham. The massively wide track, the massively fast corners and the massively long straights all lead to it being a slip-stream focussed circuit. Where we normally have a gaggle of 9 cars in the lead pack, I can see this being more like 15 or so this time out – with everyone capable of working the traffic to spring a surprise.

However, the weather has also turned very Autumnal and a damp track is sure to play a role over the weekend. I’d certainly like to see wet weather to throw a spanner in the works. Although, I’d like it to stop short of the monsoon we had last year for the Academy race!

I can’t wait for the racing. I can’t wait to see friends and family. I can’t wait to see how this big adventure will end up!
