Britcar with Paul Collis and TJH on hold

With the ludicrous performance advantage of the leading TVR and Moslers in Britcar and mounting work required to keep Paul’s 997 Cup running let alone get anywhere near to making it competitive a decision has been made to put the season on hold. An eye is still being held on the Britcar 24hrs in September although some significant changes will be due for that to happen.

Thanks to the generosity of Paul it has been a great experience for me to race a car that pulls out of corners like a train. We started off the season remarkably well with the car feeling good straight from Tech9 but without any engineering or Porsche experience on the car and the team's very busy daily work schedule, the season has only gone rapidly down hill so I am quite relieved to stop and regroup.

Without any funding to build my career the only “prove what I preach” evidence I had was the fact I had finished on the podium in every race I had completed since 2000. This year has destroyed that record, but I had to take the chance and I am very grateful for it.

So to the remainder of the season, I have been left incredibly motivated to prove that last 7 years in all types of racing had been no fluke! I am now looking for serious opportunities as a driver, coach or where required as manager to demonstrate this.
