Agree, well done Rich. There's nothing like showing up for race day and realising that your wheel brace and tyre pressure monitor doesn't quite cut it compared to the airjacks and hospitality tents down the paddock.

PS: The rubber on Rodney when you bought him was only just scrubbed in

Racing is going well, but now the season is over. To be honest, the combination of being busy at work and travelling, plus sharing the car with my mate Ian, has meant that we haven't got the track time I would have liked. We've guested in the Toyo Saloons series and we also did a Team Trophy race.

My impression of the different series was that the participants of the Toyo races were more seasoned and that the standard of driving was higher, while Team Trophy was more patchy - certainly I witnessed some incidents that made me think twice about doing a full season. My mate Darren got put into a wall, for example.



Also considering selling E36 M3 track car and buying two E30 Project BMW saloons and doing a full season. The racing is much closer, I think.

After watching the video clip twice, as I couldn't believe my eyes the first time... I have to say Darren is a very lucky boy to have survived that head on ... but also I feel the need to ask, what action was taken against the 968 driver... and I use the word "driver" very loosely here as that appears to be a very deliberate & malicious act .

Shimmy, yes, that looks like a good series indeed. Could be interesting given that I share the car with my mate Ian, and we could probably do with a series that allows sharing but in which either of us can race if the other one cannot make it.

Matt, I think he got docked 6 points and a fine. There has been quite a furore about the incident in the video and the drivers' briefing at Snetterton included particularly forceful warnings about contact on track. However, the standard of driving was still pretty poor, although (to be fair) I did manage an excursion on the grass when trying an inept overtaking move

Doing CCSC again this year - but only the 2 Silverstone rounds.

Hoping to do the Birkett in November.

Car has evolved slightly since last time, Wayne has worked his magic.

...... and he reckons this is the fastest ever M3 he's been in and nothing will touch it on the track ..... Shimmy
