The Racers Edge

At the age of 40, I decided to go motor racing - The ultimate mid life crisis.

I'm Racing!

Well, given that I don't have a partner or a kart for the Crail endurance series, I've signed up to do a season of Formula V. It's a budget level single seater car based on the mechanicals (engine, gearbox and suspension) of a VW bettle - That's about all I know, so I plan to get my medical done this week and then it's in at the deep end with 2 races at Snetterton on March 14th/15th.

I've never actually seen a FV in the flesh, so I'm not expecting to be competitive for a while, but with races at Snett, Brands, Cadwell, Donington, Silverston and Oulton it should be fun:-)

I just hope that I don't embarrass myself..........
