Nelson King delivered an outstanding performance this weekend at Oulton Park, securing two podium finishes in Round 4 of the MINI Challenge JCW Championship. Despite facing significant challenges, King showcased his skill and determination, making it a memorable event for himself and his team, Laser Tools Racing.
Qualifying: Battling Through Traffic
The qualifying session proved to be tough, as I had to navigate through heavy traffic on fast laps. Despite the challenges, I persevered and secured a P5 starting position for both races. It was a testament to the team's hard work and my determination to push through the difficulties.
Race 1: Climbing to the Podium
Saturday's Race 1 saw me optimizing my start position, gaining an immediate advantage to move up to P4. After an intense battle with Max Hall, I overtook him to claim 3rd place. With limited time left in the race, I set my sights on the leaders but had to settle for a well-earned P3 finish. It was a hard-fought race, and I was pleased to bring home a podium position.
Race 2: Thriving in Scorching Conditions
Sunday's Race 2, broadcast live on ITV4, was held under scorching conditions, with the air temperature reaching 30 degrees. The extreme heat inside the car made the race even more challenging. However, through strategic and very late overtakes, I managed to secure another third-place finish. It was a gruelling race, but the double podium was fantastic, demonstrating our resilience and competitive spirit.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all my sponsors and to my supporters who were there throughout the weekend. Your support and encouragement made this success possible.
