A week before the next race meeting I sit here with hit witb anxiety. Why?

I’m a seasoned racer, one of the faster in my area. So why do I feel this way about my racing?

I can set my cars up and I can race well, but building one always seems to be my downfall. I either rush or do something silly to get it wrong. Being tbe seasoned racer I can then do checks and see where I’ve done it wrong. But sometimes undoing the situation is my undoing.

And a week before my debut with my new xray x4 I am sat with doubt. So much I’ve asked a friend to check over my workings. It always seems to be the case. And I feel that if the car isn’t perfect I won’t be. And all the hard work of giving myself a good reputation with a brand and in front my club.

These are things that shouldn’t matter. I’m not a paid driver, I’m not a factory driver, results don’t stop me from doing stuff. And yet it bothers me

So Wayne a friend from the club who’s prep work is mega. Has taken my car and carried out a full check. He’s happy that I’m not a full Moron, but better at driving then spannering. So I’m grateful and it takes a lot off my mind. So hopefully the road ahead of a good one

It just shows that anxiety affects people in so many ways, even in stuff you enjoy. I’m an over thinker and it affect my sleeping. But I’ll get through it and be ready!!

A different post this one, but one I wanted to share
