A working weekend


A full weekend has just been spent working at the Brands Hatch rally school, involving a mixture of both instructing and giving demo driving laps around the two rally stages.

Although Gordon Brown and his cronies get a fair share of the cut, the money earned all goes to further the rallying budget, with just a couple of weeks to go before the season opener in Somerset, and I can't wait.

First event of the year......

Chelmsford Motor Club (my local club) are running a Gymkhana at Woodbridge airfield and this will be a treated very much as a test session for both car and driver.

Pics, results to follow after the event - New pic added !

Update: I have been asked to test a set of tyres for a major international tyre supplier, with a view to their use on Endurance rallies in the future. Tyre test data and feedback will also follow after the event.
Since the test never happened, i will now be evaluating the tyres when i go testing in the middle of February, more details will follow after that.

Results : Well the tyre test didn't happen for a number of reasons but, it turned out the old worn Colways worked well as we took the event win ! A top days club motorsport :)

Pictures; sorry they are not that big, but better quality ones will follow.



Just after a dip in road, showing the car at full compression



Just entering the same dip, the red circle is showing the photographers stickers, a number of us run with these to show our thanks to Andy Manston who is out on most of our events snapping us.

NEW Pic :) :-



This picture was taken coming out of a double 90 Right, which was very slippery due to a covering of mud (well i think it is mud !!!). On our way to a top 5 time :)
