13/07/23: Sideways GT3 – Alex Second

Alex Second.

Sideways GT3 returned this week and star of the show was Alex. He didn’t win – that honour went to Julian – but after a year and a half of trying and eight fourth-place finishes, he finally earned a spot on the podium. Better still, it wasn’t even the bottom step, Alex instead driving an excellent race to finish second, a well-earned reward for plugging away week after week in a determined bid to improve.

Aside from Alex’s great result, the race itself was notable for two things: the first three heats were completed without a single crash, a rarity at Molesey, and some super-close racing in the midfield between Chris and Graham, their battle eventually decided in Chris’s favour when Graham crashed twice in heat 4.
