My mate from work John is a seasioned autotest champion. His brother Al owns a stunt driving school. Both of them very skilled. They were approached by the BBC to have a crack at the parallel parking world record.
I hate the hatchback road car but really like the saloon. When I heard the WSR ebay team had chosen a 1 series to base their new car on i knew it would be the hatch as the rules dont alow 3 door unless its the same body shape as the 5 door.
So pics appeared yesterday of the car testing at...
Our 3rd season in the CSCC Tintops and we were very much looking forward to it. We were not at all disappointed with our engine failure at the last race of 2011, as we had been competitive towards the end of the year with a very old and tired engine. A new lump for the 2012 season had been...
Huge congrats to Josh Cook from Cooksport on his first and second wins in the Clio Cup at Silverstone yesterday. Massive result mate. Really pleased for you, hope you carry on in Clios next year and challenge for the title
:cool:
The 2nd race of our season and it felt like it had come around quick. The weather during the week leading up to it was really warm and sunny. Today was no exception. We were interested to see how we would do around Silverstone as the layout had not favoured us in the past. Now with the...
Brands Hatch 2012 Race Report
So a long winter break was finally over and we were at the first meeting of the season.
Brands Hatch Indy Circuit had never been kind to us in the past, our best result being 10th last year. We were feeling more comfortable after our...
"In the late 1970s, a phenomenon swept the sporting world. A new game fell on the scene, one that created an international stir, world exhibitions, and a fever that can only be described as a "feeding frenzy." And that game was Hungry Hungry Hippos. Well, it's time to update this classic...
Went to Brands on Monday to run the race car around after the winter rebuild. Misty in the morning but cleared up to be a nice warm day. We got what we needed to get done all finished, had a minor issue that we have plenty of time to sort but the car was pretty faultless. Setup was close to...
2011 was our 2nd season in the Classic Sports Car Clubs TinTops series and the new season started early for us, with a trackday at Brands Hatch in December 2010. We had done a few things to the car prior to the day, mainly centred around reliability. During 2010 we had several things fall...
The club we race with was at Snetterton this weekend but we didn't go. (We decided at the start of the year not to go)
Our friends Lisa and Toby have a very nice Ford Puma Race Car they built from a converted Hillclimb car. Its a Class C 1.6 16v pushing 195bhp. A quick car they are still...
Silverstone Race Report:
The 5th race of our season at our home circuit, Silverstone. We retired from the race last year so we were looking for a decent result. There was a strong field entered and some light scattered showers forecast. It was an early start as we were the first practice...

It took quite a while...

05:15 The alarm goes off, is it that time already? Bleary eyed I get dressed and stumble downstairs. Everything is packed in the car ready to go.
05:23 Dave arrives and we swap cars on the driveway.

8th May 2011 - Brands Hatch
A wet journey on the way down to Kent this morning but the forecast was for a dry, sunny day. Tony and Helen had arrived before us and put up the gazebo just before it began to rain very hard. A small river was running through our pit area but we could see...
Me and my bro been playing with the website and adding some content for the new season, some additional content that answers some of the questions we get asked on a regualr basis. Will get plenty more photos on there this year as Dan (shadowness) has commited to attending all our races this...
