It has been a long time coming but the 2009 Webcon UK Club Formula Ford National Championship begins this weekend at Anglesey, Wales. The weekend will make use two circuit configurations, Coastal and International on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

This will be my first visit to Anglesey but with a test day on Friday and free practice before both Saturday and Sunday qualifying, I should have plenty of opportunity to get to know the circuit.

My objectives for the weekend are to stay out of trouble and get a solid result – let’s remember that I have not actually finished a race since 2007. It will be a relief to know where we stand with the car, to gauge how competitive we are and how we move forward in the future.

The 2009 season has been a long time coming and it is the culmination of much effort by many people. I have to thank everyone who has got the project this far especially (but not exclusively): my Dad, Neil Paxton, Mark Dunham, Alan Wardropper and Pat Murphy. Of course, continued thanks goes to Alan Robinson for the use of the car.
