Back on the podium in 24hrs - 23.08.10
Lewis enjoyed a welcome return to the podium after an exhausting 2CV 24hr race, finishing in 2nd place after a marathon 732 laps of Snetterton! Racing for the Tete Rouge 2 team alongside Peter Haynes and Tony Robinson, Lewis also posted the fastest lap of the race, almost a second faster than any other driver.
'It's my second year in the 2CV 24hr race and it's a real test of endurance, concentration and technique' said Lewis. 'With only 3 drivers this year instead of 4, we had to stay on our toes for the whole race. Peter and Tony were brilliant, working with me and the team to keep hold of second place for over 10 hours!'
24hr Enduro at Snetterton - 02.08.10
Lewis is once again contesting the legendary Professional Motorsport World Expo 2CV 24 Hour Enduro, held at Snetterton over the weekend of August 21/22. Lewis will again co-drive with Anthony Robinson, along with two other drivers to be confirmed.
2010 update - 11.03.10
Lewis will only race in selected events during 2010. Gaining full financial backing for the Carrera Cup 2010 has proved even tougher than 2009 and last year's experience showed the importance of committing to a full season's racing and testing to deliver the full potential.
'We were grateful for strong interest from a couple of very proactive sponsors, but in the end the total funding available wouldn't have covered the season, so we've taken a tough decision not to start unless we can finish' said Lewis.
'It's frustrating in some ways, but I've been racing for 6 years now, and I'm still only 21, so I plan to use this year to gain experience through one-off drives in other series, hopefully securing the right opportunity in 2011'.
Lewis on TV - 27.11.09
The Motorsport UK TV programme recently showed on both ITV1 and ITV4 featured an interview with Lewis by presenter Louise Goodman. Lewis talked about the fantastic opportunity he'd been given by winning the Porsche Carrera Cup Scholarship, and the boost it had given his racing career.
The programme also covered Round 19 from Brands Hatch, featuring a seemingly-impossible 3-way pass by Lewis to grab a Top 10 spot in the race!
Lewis ends season in Top 10 - 05.10.09
There was a record entry of 27 drivers competing in the final two rounds of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB, in front of a packed crowd of 25,000 plus.
Lewis had never raced on the longer Grand Prix circuit before, but soon felt comfortable with the fast straights and sweeping corners. He made good progress during free practice on Friday, leading to an excellent performance in the Saturday qualifying session, resulting in being placed 9th and 8th on the grid for Sunday’s two races.
During the first 30-minute race on Sunday, he fought a hard battle with the chasing group to hold onto 9th place at the finish. In the second race, he spent much of the race inside the Top 10 before having to serve a drive-through penalty. He re-entered the race down in 20th place but managed to climb back up to finish 12th.
These results mean that Lewis, aged only 20, has finished his first Carrera Cup season inside the Championship Top 10 – an excellent starting point for a full attack on the championship in 2010!
Lewis moves into Top 10 - 21.09.09
Rounds 17 and 18 at the unique Rockingham Speedway gave Lewis a great platform to continue his progress over the second half of the season. His testing pace was promising and, after qualifying a reasonable 10th, he then equalled his best-ever finish in race 1, crossing the line in seventh place.
He was hoping to go one better in the second race on Sunday, but had to start from the pit lane after a gearbox issue was checked by the team. He struggled with the gearbox all through the race, but managed to climb up to 11th by the chequered flag. By scoring points in both races, Lewis moved up a place in the championship, entering the Top 10 for the first time.
The final rounds are at Brands Hatch on 3/4 October.
Ups and Downs at Silverstone - 30.08.09
Rounds 15 and 16 at Silverstone provided some of the best racing that Lewis has been involved in since joining the Carrera Cup this year. After a hard-fought 8th in race one, only a slight error in the increasingly slippery conditions during race two stood in the way of his best points finishes of the season. In the end, 8 championship points didn't feel like a just reward for the solid work throughout both races.
After an encouraging final practice session on Friday, Lewis was a little disappointed to qualify only 14th for the first race on Saturday. 'I gave it everything but couldn't find the two tenths that would have got me into the top ten' he said.
Undaunted, he set about the task of reaching the Top 10, eventually passing Derek Pierce and then Karl Leonard for 8th place. Leonard's clumsy attempt to re-pass resulted in an avoidable collision for which he was later penalised.
In race 2 on Sunday, Lewis found himself in an almost identical battle in semi-wet conditions, again passing Pierce for what would have become 6th place, only to lose the back end on an increasingly slippery track, ending up in the gravel only five minutes before the end.
'I'm really annoyed with myself because, as things turned out I could have got 6th place overall and been the second-placed pro driver!' said Lewis. 'But overall I'm really happy with the car and looking forward to making the results stick at Rockingham'
Knockhill adventure - 18.08.09
Lewis made it 7 points finishes out of 8 by completing both rounds in unpredictable weather at the most northerly circuit on the calendar. After testing and qualifying in trecherous wet conditions, the whole team opted for wet tyres in race 1 - a decision they were to regret when the circuit dried quicker than expected. However, whilst Harvey, Sutton and Gilham dropped down the order, Lewis managed to hold his position, finishing 12th - one place better than qualifying.
Race 2 was held in the dry, making the most of the spectacular scenery and large crowds. Qualifying 13th, Lewis held onto the pack in front, but was unable to make the leap forwards once back-markers came into the mix. However on the last lap, he gained two places, finishing 11th.
The results mean that Lewis has gained a place in the championship table, now only nine points off Derek Pierce in 10th place.
Rounds 15 and 16 are at Silverstone on 29/30 August.
Two more points finishes - 03.08.09
Lewis carried on where he left off at Croft in the newly-liveried GT3 car, finishing 7th in race one, equalling his best finish so far. 'That was a great result considering I only qualified 13th' said Lewis. He gained a place at the start, avoided a first-lap incident, then set about holding onto 8th place, which became 7th when Tony Gilham had a trip across the grass towards the end of the race.
Race two wasn't as successful, hindered by a big slide during the first lap, thankfully emerging in a space between other cars. 'From then on it was a case of playing catch-up, so 11th place wasn't a bad final outcome I suppose' said Lewis.
The results meant that Lewis held onto 12th place in the championship and closed the gap on Michael Leonard to just two points.
Rounds 13 and 14 are at Knockhill, Scotland on 15/16 August.
Lewis returns to Snetterton - 28.07.09
The Porsche Carrera Cup GB returns to action at Snetterton this weekend, August 1-2, after a 7 week break. Lewis was grateful for some time off after the stresses of Croft, but was glad to be back on track at Snetterton during testing on 21 July. Even though it was wet all day, the session offered a great opportunity to re-familiarise himself with a circuit he hadn't competed at since last summer.
Lewis also benefited from some strong coaching input from former Carrera Cup GB champion Richard Westbrook, ultimately declaring himself ready for official practice and qualifying ahead of Sunday's races. 'I couldn't get things together in the morning sessions, but in the afternoon everything came together and my times were competitive' said Lewis. 'I know where I can still improve, but that will have to wait until next time!'
Best Result So Far at Croft - 15.06.09
Lewis achieved his best weekend results so far this season at a very changeable Croft on 14 June. Finishing both races in the points was the target, ideally within the Top 10. After qualifying 9th on the grid for the first race, Lewis managed to avoid some first-lap mayhem, climbing to 8th, then securing a season-best 7th at the flag after an audatious inside-line pass on Ollie Jackson.
The second race was an altogether different story when the heavens opened just before the start, causing all cars to make a quick switch to wet tyres. After a cautious start, Lewis kept things on track, despite poor visibility, but unbalanced brakes caused a spin at the half way mark. Despite a rear-end shint into the tyre wall, he was determined to keep going, eventually crossing the line in 11th place.
15 championship points from the weekend helped him climb two places up the table and enter the mid-season break feeling optimistic about the second half of the season, which kicks off at Snetterton on 1/2 August.
A race of two halves.. - 01.06.09
Lewis initially carried on where he left off after Saturday's top 10 finish during the second race (Round 8) at Oulton Park, moving up from 14th on the grid to a solid 8th at the halfway stage. Following a short safety car period, he maintained 8th after the restart, but then just clipped the tyre barrier going into the chicane amongst a tight group all fighting for 5th place.
With broken steering, he had to retire from the race, frustrated not to score points in both races. 'My preparation wasn't ideal, with no chance for pre-race testing, so I'm happy with the progress I made' said Lewis. 'But I'll be even happier when I can finish strongly in both races over a weekend. Hopefully I can deliver at Croft'.
Rounds 9 and 10 are at Croft Circuit on 13/14 June.
Back on track at Oulton Park - 30.05.09
Lewis hadn’t raced on this circuit configuration at Oulton Park before and had no testing beforehand (because the car required a new bodyshell after Donington). Considering that, he made a pretty good start to the weekend, finishing 10th in Saturday's race after qualifying 14th.
'Finishing the race was my main priority after what happened at Donington, so actually I'm pretty happy to get into the Top 10, although there are plenty of areas where I can improve tomorrow' said Lewis.
Sunday's race is at around 13.30.
No joy on Donington return - 18.05.09
After his dramatic first Caterham win at Donington last year, there was to be no dream return to Donington for Lewis, instead being forced to sit out the second race after sustaining damage during race 1.
After a frustrating and rain-threatened qualifying session, leaving Lewis 12th on the grid, he had a good start and was presented with a great opportunity to gain places with the demise of Tim Bridgman and Glynn Geddie early in the race.
Then a wheel caught a slippery part of the circuit at over 100mph, sending him into an uncontrollable slide rearwards into the tyre wall. Lewis was unhurt, but the car suffered rear-end damage that twisted the bodyshell, so his day was over.
'It's just frustrating to get so many things right during testing, only to see a small mistake put an end to things so quickly' said Lewis. 'But there are still 14 races to go and I'm confident of getting a real result soon, especially after running 5th at Thruxton until that last lap puncture'.
A new bodyshell will be in place for the next rounds at Oulton Park on 30/31 May.
So close at Thruxton - 27.04.09
Lewis completed his first ever races at Thruxton during Rounds 3 and 4 of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB on 26 April.
After qualifying sixth on the grid for race 1, he gained a place at the start and was running a great fifth for much of the race. Then on the final lap, he lost a top six finish when a rear puncture brought a very good drive to a finish, with no points to show for his efforts. 'That's frustrating. It felt really comfortable out there,' he said.
After another great start in race 2, he clipped the grass on the first lap, resulting in a dramatic spin, rejoining right at the back of the field. He fought back to 12th by the finish, but was again frustrated that the progress he made over the weekend didn't translate to success in the race.
'Together with the team at Redline, we've made a lot of progress in only a few weeks. It's only a matter of time before everything comes together, so I'm still feeling optimistic about the next races in May' said Lewis.
Rounds 5 and 6 are at Donington over the weekend of May 16/17.
