I got out in a formula Ford too thanks to a good friend even got a top 10, I’d never driven one before but what a machine.

So much happened in the 4 months, we did get the Mini back out which was great, it was a good weekend up until the gearbox cried no more. More of the missing 4 months coming up.

Great to be back at Gurston Down for another weekend of motorsport. Good results with the class win both days and two 3rds in the top 12 runoff now sits me at the top of the points table.

When you get your hands on a set of Good Year formula student super soft compound slicks, most likely the only set in the UK, good for the Mini and the front of the Jedi, really looking forward to testing them out. It’s going to look like an old school F1 car on the front 😂

I’m sorry Bluesky for neglecting you, many things have changed since my last post, Green Jedi has gone, the Oms is at Empire racing cars having a new manifold, the Mini is in bits having a light refresh, the Yellow Jedi got an FTD and we are looking at a former British top 12 car 😂😂
