Missed Podium at Donington – What Went Wrong?! – DONINGTON DILEMMA | Against the Grain

#ArmyMotorsport #Britcar #Donington #SportsCarRacing #MotorsportDoc Round 5 of Britcar Endurance at Donington Park – and it was another weekend of “what ifs”. After a positive test day and a solid qualifying performance from JC (7th in class), the race looked promising… until the safety cars started flying and the strategy decisions piled up. A mysterious power loss, a short stint for Josh, a critical pit-stop error under safety car, and a painful 60-second stop-go penalty left us finishing 6th in class instead of fighting for the podium we all felt was possible. This episode covers the full story: • Limited track time on Friday due to red flags • JC’s strong qualifying • Early safety cars and tough strategy calls • The power gremlin that forced an early stop • The refuelling mistake that cost us big • Will’s fighting recovery drive • Honest post-race reflections from the whole team The car came home in one piece. The points are still good. But the podium that felt so close is the one that hurts the most. Next stop: Snetterton. Lessons learned. Time to put them into practice. --- 💬 Was the penalty harsh or just part of learning endurance racing?
