The Racers Edge

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

Bedford, Crail and Dubai

Now there's a title!

On Nov 14th, David Rooke and I had a day at Palmersport in mostly wet conditions. Between us we won all bar the Caterhams and finished first and second overall - I even managed a perfect 50 on the off-road course:-)

Then on Sunday 15th, I partnered Grant Murray in the ProKart endurance races at Crail. The track started wet and never got fully dry - Grant's kart is his father's own design and is very different to drive. Even so, I adapted reasonably well and we managed a 2nd, 4th and 3rd in the 3 races to finish 2nd overall.

And so to Dubai - I'm now confirmed (subject to getting my license upgraded to Inernational C class) to be driving for Jaco's Paddock Sport in a BMW M3 at the 24 hour race on the 14/15/16th of January. Should be fun :-)
