I've been thinking about starting a thread on here for a while but as most of you will know time is never on our side when it comes to these things. But I thought some of you might be interested in my story of how I got into racing and of course as I continue to persevere with one of the most...
Thought I'd share a few photos taken yesterday at French Car Show 2017. My son is an avid photographer so as usual came armed with his camera. Here is a pic of the stand, my car on far left having come back in after track time:
He shot a few Clios flying by the pits on the long straight too...
Is anyone attending this weekend? I'll be there tomorrow on the Combustion Punks stand, hopefully the weather will hold out. A great event in you're in the area, highly recommended!

Anyone go to this?
I was there with @not normal dan and despite the predicted day of rain, it turned out pretty nice by lunchtime. Took a few pictures while I was there but tried to concentrate on the racing this time rather than the cars in the paddock.
Hello......Anyone going on the sunday??....me and the mrs are travelling from jct10/m6..would be good to drive in a convoy and park next to each other...
Popped over to Donington today to PFC Mag expo. Started off mega cold but once the fog lifted & the sun came out it turned into a decent day.
The show itself wasn't the greatest, but it was well organised & a great chance to meet up with the regulars.

A blue 172 Cup was entered in the last race of the day.
Many 197's were entered unsurprisingly in a Clio Cup race. One ended up as probably the worlds shortest Clio.
I was at the Donington Historic Festival once again for 2014, as part of the MX-5 stand.
Some of the cars on the club stands were rather special.
It was all too exhausting for some...
Some of the race cars in the paddock...
Some racing shots...

I'm after some advice from those that know Donington well ( @Tony Hunter @Jay Payne @Big Ash @MicKPM 2Damnsly Andy ) and anyone else on where I can find some time. I did 3 laps in a row within a second of the one below so I'm thinking I reached my limit.
Theres a few places I feel I could be...
Loads of Clios.
LY182
AG200
172Cup
Black182
Two Silver 182s
Trophy
AB182
Silver Ph1 172 - DAK or DAX on num plate.
From what I can remember.
Then a Blue 172 Cup or 182 trying to chase us towards the M1.
Also a few Megs if they're on here.
So who his heading over to Donington this Sunday to spectate? Guess it's kind of a mini-meet so it's relevant to be in this section.

Had my first trackday at Donington on Bank holiday Monday 6th May. Now usually bank hol weather is terrible but fortunately it must have been one of the nicest days of the year. (unfortunately the weathers been more downhill than craner curves since then!)
This was the full GP circuit. Tyres...
Overshadowed by the tragic loss of Christian Devereux, the annual classic car racing event was predictably fantastic. It's a mecca for anyone who appreciates proper cars, with immaculate examples both on and off the track.
Armed with only my iPhone I made a short video and took plenty of...
Took the camera with me to Donington today for the BTCC.
Its not a SLR and I'm not very good so most of the motion pics turned out terrible but I've shared some of the better ones.

Not sure if posted before - couldn't find ought.
Press day this Thursday, free afternoon entry for public with open pit lane etc.
The joys of working 5 mins from the circuit and having a boss that loves motorsport... Long lunch break it is then...
Start: Me doing it wrong
Middle: Data overlay, trying to learn to 'drive the circle' more effectively, harder than it sounds...
End: A few laps chasing one of the guys I race with in his standard MX-5 on road tyres, wiggling around all over the place!
