You running yourself or is Craig handling the spanners? Bit of both probably, Got to keep costs under control so will be doing as much as i can myself, with some support for more specialist stuff got to sort out an arrangement with Craig. Didnt get to drive it yet as another trackday snowed off at the weekend ! Hire drive looks like a decent option and a nice car you are running. Was spectating at last years BTCC round, you had a pretty good run.

Back in the Northern Saloon and Sports Car Championship this year, but we've swapped the Clio for a Ginetta G20 this year, should be getting it's first test in a few weeks time if we manage to get something booked.

Have you driven one before? quite a handful i remember! 1800 - straight out of the Ginetta championship (the winning G20 no less!). And no, neither of us has driven one before (though it's not the first RWD I've raced). Interesting, yes......;)

Made a little mash up video of ITV4, InCar and spectator footage of our race at Knockhill supporting the touring cars last year: http://youtu.be/QQZH2pVvno0Includes low flying MINIs, one being recovered from a spin whilst technically going backwards and one trying a bit of 2 wheels action  God I cant wait!

I'm having thoughts of upgrading my licence and entering some races as well as the usual Sprint events. Trackday trophy seems about right for me and my car.

TDT is great because it groups cars by power:weight rather than engine size. It means you can turn up with whatever and still be competitive in your class.

I think I'd best book my ARD's course.

I will be at Brands on Monday for Team Trophy testing with the new ginetta, not looking too pretty right now, but hopefully it is mechanically sound and the car will get a tart up prior to the first race.
No point in having a shiney car first time you take it on track, you never know what might happen.

Keith Oh hell, does this mean we have the only Elise in the series ? At least there will be one car smaller than ours. Class B ?? Watch out for those BMW bully boys  Looking outside its snowing heavily, so may be interesting on Mon. Weve got to go as booked in for power test at 9.30. D.

I tested at Brands back in December and was the most slippery I've known it. Clearways just needed Jane Torville as a marshall. Nasty Ginetta and Caterham/Westfield collision on the straight too. Fingers crossed it's not as bad for you guys on Monday.

Likely to be back in the Orange TopCats Marcos but in class 2 of Britcar this year. We won class 3 last year and came second overall, so class 2 should present a new challenge. Was hoping to get into the Mosler but sponsors are not thick enough on the ground.  should also be doing some blue riband historics (Le Mans Classic. Monza, Goodwood in 1964 TVR Grantura.
