Interesting stuff, congrats for hanging with the power monsters!
The squeezing incident seems fairly cut and dried to me. He was trying to overtake on the outside, you were defending. He turned in before he was past. If you're round the outside, you can't expect to own the apex unless you're well clear. That's my opinion, anyway. What did the stewards say?

Yep same thing, I think they were ready to dish out a bollocking but we said its all sorted. He apologised but I don't like being squeezed and now I'm not shy about keeping my foot in. In that situation you have to give space and there's plenty of it at Brooklands. He'd only done time attack before so probably watched too much BTTC 
Hats off he came back and affected his race more than mine.

Nice racing between yourself and the yellow Civic, pity about the penultimate lap of race 2 when he out braked you. It seems overall you are slightly faster than them but given its a race that doesn't transfer to fighting for position. Good job though.

I think that's the thing, I wasn't outbraked, I could have released the brake and forced him but in club racing you give people space, and i was given none, on a tight turn with nowhere to go. If someone then cuts across you that's up to them!
