I’m planning on racing this year with CSCC future classics series. First race is silverstone 8th March. There will be live streams of the races.

Currently fitting a fire extinguisher and changing fuel pump and some bits and bobs.

I'll have to do a proper post about race prep and a few more photos, but I'll leave you with this picture until then.

I finished the race unscathed which was my goal :lol: 21st out of 36. Thought l'd be tootling round at the very back but actually managed a good race with some decent cars around me. I did half spin on the last lap which lost me a couple of places but didn't go off the track, so all good really. Buzzing for the next!

Well done, to finish your first race and come in 21st out od 36 is a win in my book :clap:

If you get to race at Snetterton or Brands this year (both just over an hour from me), let me know and I'll try and get along to watch :thumbup:

Not been very good at posting much on here. I have done the silverstone international and donington rounds, and I have just booked the Castle Combe round on 3rd August, again there will be a livestream on the CSCC youtube!
