Here’s a picture of me at the last race meet before Covid.
Some of you may know that I race cars in a purely amateur capacity (honestly, even the semi-pro guys leave me in a cloud of dust, never mind the pros). Because I lived in America for a while, I tend to be the ‘go to’ guy for the left hand drive cars (British cars are right hand drive).
The event was held at one of the Car Chase Hero circuits, where they have Track Day Experiences, so all the necessary facilities were in house. I had just walked the track and was heading to the pits to get changed when the missus went ‘click’ (probably for insurance purposes, lol).
I thought the Speed Buggy t-shirt was appropriate and in my right hand is my driver’s laminate.
I drove a left hand drive AC Cobra and the brakes were so spongey that I had to brake about a quarter of a mile before each bend for fear of shooting off the track. It was a fun ride!
I also got to race a ‘competition ready’ Lamborghini Hurican. I remember going down the back straight thinking, ‘Blimey! This can shift!’ It was an easy win - the rest of the field didn’t really have a chance.
