What a cracking debut from Oscar Targett. Stepping into that sort of competition and putting in a performance like that shows he's got plenty of talent and confidence. It'll be exciting to see how he builds on this over the rest of the season. I was actually chatting with a mate about Car Sound Deadening and Soundproofing Services on the drive home from the track, so it's funny seeing motorsport pop up again today. Wishing Oscar all the best for the next round. He's definitely one to keep an eye on.
