Rafael said: "the car was nice to drive and the track is great, with some very fast corners, which makes it very enjoyable to race on!"

Round 1 took place on a damp track but with no rain. It dried out during the session and therefore grip increased after each lap. Rafael was much faster than any of the other competitirs on the track, even lapping a Ferrari! At the end of the day, the instructor rated his drive as a very good one, underlining his excellent car control, great natural ability and lots of bottle through the quick corners.

Rafael is therefore through to the semi-finals, which will take place on the 19th November. He can't wait to get back onto the track!
