Thanks guys! smile

Really excited about the season!! I was talking to a few BTCC teams last year but it was either going to be too much money or risk another year like 2015.

Decided I fancied a year of proper racing, wanted to stay on the TOCA package and the G55 has got our brakes and clutch so seemed like the ideal choice!!

Come and say hi if you're at a TOCA weekend, now I don't have 6 sessions over 2 days along with driver parades, pitlane stalkabout, etc I'll mostly be relaxed and wandering around the support paddock!

It's actually surprisingly spacious, although that picture does bear a striking resemblance to me in an Evora GT4!

Finally a reason not to skip through the Ginetta seniors during my BTCC meet Sky+ catch-up!

Best of luck Ollie!

Ah amazing. I bet the Ginettas are fab to drive. They certainly look great.

Best of luck.

They're pretty raw but not unlike a big Caterham actually! Lots of fun!

My lease car is nearly finished being built and should turn up in the next couple of days, I'll shove some photos up. Also reminds me I need to knock up my design for the car actually!

Don't forget you'll need to do the first race with a tin of Birds custard on the dash so that we know it's really you. wink

Good luck for the season Ollie.

How does leasing work for race cars.Do you just pay an agreed amount for the season,what about insurance,accident damage etc.

I owned my Carrera Cup cars as they held their money as opposed to paying the team for the hire, but to be honest it's the first time I've leased, and the Ginetta offer is pretty unique as it includes race weekend tyres, fuel, entry fees and a race suit. It seemed like a no brainer.

Looking forward to it mate, glad you're on board thumbup

Well my motto is 'never assume your luck can't get any worse' but let's face it, a holiday in Somalia might be the only thing worse than last year.

Good to see you're doing well Ollie. Still working at the old place or have you left?

See, that's an episode of Britain's Got Talent I would watch. See if you can run over Simon Cowbell.
