Preview: 40th Anniversary Formula Vee Festival
July 26th, 2007
This weekend the 2007 UK Formula Vee Championship reaches somewhat of a climax at the majestic Brands Hatch. It is the 40th Anniversary celebration of Formula Vee in the UK and will hopefully be a weekend to remember. As the last double header weekend of the championship, it is crucial and tension will be high for all those concerned. As for me, I'm ready for whatever anyone can throw at me. Quite literally.
The controversy of Snetterton, sadly, is still not over. Highlighting the unfortunate prevalence of business in motor racing, I have since been disassociated from GAC at race meetings due to the risk I pose to other GAC customers: I may overtake them. And whilst I understand and accept the business rationale behind the decision and hope that my relationship with GAC as a manufacturer and engine builder will continue, I can't help but think it sadly detracts from the illusion of sport.
AHS made a kind offer to assist me at race meetings until the end of the year and I am looking forward to working with Alan Harding and the rest of his team. For me, therefore, this weekend carries a degree of uncertainty but I have no reservations about building a strong relationship up until the season finale at Snetterton in September.
It all kicks off tomorrow with a busy programme of testing for the day and still a lot of problems to rectify before I can make it out on track. Thanks to the joy of mobile Internet access I'll do my best to update the site with results as soon as possible.

The switch gave us an introduction to Alan Robinson, who has now become the key to my Formula Ford campaign. […]
