Manx GP Preparation – 20 August – 20:45 Winner-winner, chicken dinner tonight. With some kind of roast tatty! Turned out to be quite a busy and long day. With briefings, signing-on and clothing inspection for all of Rik’s race gear, all of our firesuits and stuff for the pit stop and refuelling during practice. First…

Manx GP Preparation – 19 August – 19:00 As luck would have it, Matt secured the last available 4-berth cabin on the ferry across and we all took full advantage of this unplanned luxury. We slept soundly the whole crossing, only being reluctantly pulled out of our magnificent slumber by the announcement we were soon…

Manx GP Preparation – 18 August – 19:58 We are sat in the truck, parked outside the Isle of Man Steam Packet ferry terminal in Heysham, waiting for our night crossing to the Island. A long wait, as we arrived so early we got to watch the afternoon ferry leaving her berth. We left home…

This includes two sets of fireproof overalls, balaclava, goggles, fire extinguisher,…

Circuit Carole – 08/09/10 July 2022 – Part 2 Saturday dawned, as forecast, bright and sunny. ‘Gonna be a good day,’ I thought. I was outside the Dunlop set-up prompt at 7. Such a shame they didn’t open till 7.30. But at least I was second in the queue, which rapidly extended, and as it…

Circuit Carole – 08/09/10 July 2022 – Part 1 Fortunately for us, the weather was due to hold fair and remain dry throughout the weekend. I say this because we have a problem with the truck’s wiper motor that’s proving somewhat tiresome to fix. Carole is situated just north of Paris and a fraction south…

Porsche News
