SEK Round 9 - Twin Ring Motegi

This was a sprint format meeting so 2 separate races.

In the 1st race, we only had #66 and #67 running and with the BMW uncompetitive without Lewis as the driver, hopes rested mainly on Juha in the #66 Ford GT3. He didn't disappoint, with a calm and competitive drive to 4th place and zero incidents.

In race 2, we had a full complement of cars, with Christian in #66, Lewis in #67, John in #68 and Craig in #69.

The best Craig could hope for was to gain positions through attrition and he drove a steady race, bringing the car home 16th.

Somehow, Lewis qualified the #67 BMW 5th and managed to move up to 4th during the race - another amazing drive in an uncompetitive car - the next best BMW was 10th! Christian qualified 4th but struggled in the traffic during the early laps and had an incident that damaged the car, forcing him into an early pitstop, dropping him to 15th. But, a great comeback drive saw him up to 6th by the finish. John qualified the #68 Ford in 9th and drove well, running as high as 5th at one point but eventually following Christian home in 7th place to make 3 BAM cars in the top 7.
