TCR Spain Podium in Extreme Heat in Valencia

The heat was brutal at Circuit Ricardo Tormo this weekend. I'm talking extreme temperatures where you would not want to be strapped into a race car for TCR Spain rounds 5 and 6.

Here's what went down:

• How I managed to get a podium finish in race 1
• The insane amount of electrolytes I had to drink
• An entertaining race 2

You'll see me struggling with the heat between sessions, chugging sports drinks like my life depends on it, and still pushing hard on track. The onboard footage shows just how challenging it gets when your helmet feels like an oven and your suit is soaked through.

This weekend at Circuit Ricardo Tormo tested everything - my driving, my fitness, and my ability to stay focused when your body wants to shut down. The TCR Spain championship doesn't care about the weather, and neither do your competitors.

I'll take you through the entire weekend, from the moment I realized how hot it was going to be, to celebrating that podium finish in race 1, to the wild battle that was race 2.

The Circuit Ricardo Tormo always delivers great racing, but this weekend it delivered a masterclass in survival too. Between the TCR World Tour drivers raising the bar and Mother Nature trying to cook us alive, it was a weekend I won't forget anytime soon.

Watch to see how I dealt with the extreme conditions and still managed to put on a show for the fans who braved the heat to watch us race.
