My goal was to finish in the top-five in the championship and have a few podiums. We did a hell of lot better than that. I finished the season in third overall which is a great achievement for me. I had ten podiums, including two race wins, so I’m over the moon with how this year has gone. This was the hardest, most intense season of racing I’ve ever had and I couldn’t have done it without the help from my dad. I’ve got to say a big thanks to him for all his hard work over the years, these results are as much his as they are mine, also a big thanks to DMH MOTORS, DMH STORAGE and Discount Tyre Direct for all of the support they gave me this year.”
