[@WestfieldFreshAir]

Car too heavy, not enough power.

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

Spectacular maintaining 3rd throughout the day until missing 3rd. 🏎🏁🙋👍⛰🏞⛰ Keep having fun

[@rodrigodepierola]

I had a misfire in the chicane.

[@rayoflight39]

I am carrying more fuel than you...

[@torstikinnunen3801]

Paint on the wheels makes them heavier.

[@PetrolPed]

Well done mate. A brilliant way to start. Looking forward to seeing more 👍

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you Ped! Need to get some top tips from you please!!

[@tomwyllys]

I feel your 2nd to 5th pain Paul, I did exactly the same in 2019 and threw away the win (and possible lap record). I've never made that mistake since in two seasons of racing! Great video and looking forward to following the rest of your season.

[@lovecarsTV]

I saw your video!! I think it was your fault me having that image in my head!!

[@jamesvenning770]

Great bit of caterham coverage! But I have to fact check you, the lap record is actually 65.00 and is held by me in 2019 not Blair!! Outraged!! 😆

[@lovecarsTV]

James so sorry! Rest assured it’ll be mentioned and the record set straight in the next video and podcast!! (65s dead is mega!!)

[@jamesvenning770]

@@lovecarsTV thanks guys, appreciated! 😉 And good luck with the rest of season, best thing you’ll ever do! So much fun!

[@blairmcconachie]

@@lovecarsTV James was in the generally accepted slower green group for 2019 😜, so it was an easy mistake to not look past the white group podium finishers. Fair play though James set a quick time on our dubious tyres 👍🏻. Great coverage of the sprint in general, we will all enjoy watching your progress through the year.

[@lovecarsTV]

Ha! Slower group.... talk to us about it!!! Well done both. Top drives🏆

[@kn0t2brite]

Well done. Tiff will be proud!!

[@lovecarsTV]

I may have got some tips from Tiff!

[@priteshjethwa5619]

Well played, you’re looking strong for the rest of the season!

[@lovecarsTV]

Hope so but some very stiff competition!!

[@damirkvajo]

Great start, Paul! Looking forward to your future results. Keep up the good work.

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you very much!

[@NICKFOXTV]

Really strong effort! Look forward to seeing your progress through the series. What an awesome track line up 👌🏻

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you Nick!

[@StakedWealth369]

Why I am seeing this just now? Great video!!

[@mattb5342]

Great video and good luck! I think it would have been enjoyable to watch video of a complete lap as well with no commentary or music. Food for thought for future episodes.

[@lovecarsTV]

Great feedback thanks Matt

[@scottsmott5657]

Will be following your journey through this all year. Good luck 👍

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you very much Scott!

[@simonmurfin1910]

Fair play for having a go! Looking competitive!

[@lovecarsTV]

Cheers Simon!

[@ALMX5DP]

Fantastic video and event recap!

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you very much Alan!

[@WestfieldFreshAir]

I used to drive to events at Curborough. I live in Lichfield so I used to go past it to actually get some heat into the gearbox etc. Great place to compete and spectate.

[@lovecarsTV]

First time there and loved it!

[@mblondon1000]

Excellent stuff that 👍🏼🇬🇧

[@juliankent8875]

Fantastic. Well done 👍

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you very much Julian!

[@juliankent8875]

@@lovecarsTV I've been going to curbourgh for as long as I can remember and my dad has sprinted around there quite a few times. I haven't been for a few years now, but looking at the footage it looks like they've spent some money on it. I can remember when the tarmac between the Kidney bend and the straight where you cross over now was 3ft high in grass.

[@lovecarsTV]

Apparently it's the busiest motor circuit in the UK??

[@lukejohnson3755]

Fab start...I'd be well chuffed

[@lovecarsTV]

Thanks Luke!

[@mosca3289]

Appealingly low key. Good job driving to the track.

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you very much!

[@freddyem]

Looks like fun Paul, very jealous indeed. You’ve killed your chance of getting sponsored by Magners now though! 😂

[@lovecarsTV]

Silly me!

[@robertlloyd7493]

You did so well.....have you spent time listening to Tiff ? 😄

[@lovecarsTV]

Tiff has been super helpful!

[@morebasheder]

Curborough is great. Before all this virus malarkey I used to take my grandkids up on the bank to watch whilst having an ice cream 👍🏽

[@NWVT]

so proud :) well done mate :)

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you Nick!

[@T-Bag13]

Good luck.

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you very much!

[@maxsdad538]

You can fix the audio in post. 🤣

[@joaoluistavares6046]

The puncture is back luck. The missed gear shift, it happens. It's part of the race. It will be better next time. You are a racing driver.

[@paulkrapp]

Isn't racing fuuuunn!?..........well....isn't?............yes it is!!!!!!!!!!! 😆👍🏎

[@ChrisMisMYhandle]

Beaming afterwords with a can of rotten apples. A day of driving can make anything taste good. We'll done.
