It seems winter goes faster every year. It has been a while and with every major UK championship now underway, I'm not racing. But I think there might be a plan... In case you didn't hear: I'm not a BRDC Superstar and I'm not MSA Elite. That doesn't surprise me - not much does anymore. But after being named the Number 1 Club Driver of 2007, I can be forgiven for a touch of optimism. Both announcements came and went without even an acknowledgement of my application. In fact, my web server logs show that my application appendix was not even read. Looking forward, this year has become transitional for me. I graduate from University shortly and I have started work at Silverstone as an ARDS Instructor which in a lot of ways makes perfect sense for a season potentially devoted to building bridges. Having not been able to get anything like the money needed for Formula Ford Duratec and if I'm honest, without having the money to do anything, it is difficult to remain focused. However, Alan Robinson's kind offer of the Swift FF1600 remains (despite me already wrecking it once) and considering the amount of notoriety attached to Formula Ford at the moment (Kent included) it would be unwise to not make the most of the opportunity. With that said, it is to be done properly and not like the tail end of last year. So whilst I'm going nowhere fast at the moment, I hope this will change soon.
