The first round was not a relaxed atmosphere on arrival, with the bike seizing up in practice a few weeks before at Brands Hatch in a club race testing, the bike was only just back together Thursday night.
This had hindered James's track time on the bike, with Free Practice 1 being only the 3rd time he had ever sat on the bike.

Free Practice 1 - James comes ends up 11th in the Clasification, although he was running in the fresh crank.

Free Practice 2 - On a wet track James tops the sheets in 1st

Qualifying 1 - Slightly Damp Conditions and James finishes 3rd on a 49:332

Qualifying 2 - The teams is new to the qualifying system and loses out on an old tyre and unsuitable suspension set up, finishing up in 10th place but 19th overall from the QP1 Lap Time.

Warm Up - Solid 8th in Warm Up for Easty

Race - James is involved in a enormous crash at Clearways, being taken out by another rider.
The team worked flat out to get James back on track and succeeded with only seconds to spare. James got a good start and picked a few riders off in the 12 lap dash to collect 14th position in his debut Race.

The team now looks onto Oulton Park, where they have a good setup in mind from the weekends action at Brands Hatch.
