Tom, huge congratulations. It it's taken its time coming this season, but uh you did that one in style.

SPEAKER_01 0:08

Good. We kind of needed one. I feel like I've won a few of them. I feel like I've already had a couple of wins this year, but obviously not been allowed to keep them for various reasons. So yeah, I'm waiting for them to come up with something to take it off me this time. I'm sure something will go wrong. Um but look not. Look, we've we've done a good job. Um we've not had the sort of the rub of it so far for the first first two rounds of the season. So we've been on the back foot, and even this weekend, you know, we've been sort of either wrong place, wrong time, or slightly out of position, or just not quite chips haven't fell in our favour. So we've seen Virtue, we've had to work hard. We've all had to work hard collectively, from myself, the team, Swindon, all of us to try and maximise what we've got already because I think it's fairly evident to see. Um Ash is going to be super fast this year, so we've got to make sure that we are leaving no stone and we make sure we're we're doing everything we can to try and uh claw the points back. We're 50 points back already after two race meetings, so it's not an ideal start of the year, but um look, I'm sure we can I'm sure we can duck it down and get something out of it.

It was a tasty opening couple of laps and a short lap here, of course, at Brown Tach, but it was a tasty opening couple of laps, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_01 1:14

It was, and uh you never really know um quite how those opening laps are gonna pay out because you don't know if somebody's gonna be overly aggressive. Obviously, I'd you know James is super fast, um you know we race against James a lot, so we kind of know how he works. We know he's a safe pair of hands. Um but even still trying to get around the outside of going into paddock is never a sort of an advantageous place to try and uh to try and pull a move off.

SPEAKER_00 1:39

There is a long way to go, you've already mentioned about 50 points adrift, but there is a long way to go, critical to get that win.

SPEAKER_01 1:47

Definitely so. Obviously, fairly disappointing Ash was second, but um no, we've at least clawed some clawed some fairly decent points out of the weekend. Somebody once came up with a word for what that means, but um I can't remember what it is now. Um but we've we've done a right. That's last week. Points is last week. Oh yeah, you did say it. Somebody's played a bingo card somewhere, I'm sure. Really good drive, Tom. Well done situation.
