Merry Christmas

And just like that, my racing year has come to an end. What a strange one 2020 has been, huh? 

Still, this year wasn’t all doom and gloom -

BRKC in January got the the year off on the right foot, before that weird period of March to June which feels like it didn’t really happen..

Following on from that saw me pick up ‘Rookie of the Day’ at Rapikart’s Hereford round, qualify for the (still postponed) BIKC regional final, and last but not least finish on the podium during an event held in heavy rain up at Castle Combe

That last race took the form of an ‘open’ Grand Prix event at the little Wiltshire circuit, which ran in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust (with a portion of each driver’s entry fee going to the charity). Three wins and a third from my heat races saw me line up third on the grid for the ‘A’ final, which is where I finished behind a dominant Billy Cockle, and Ryan Taylor. Overall, it was a satisfying way to end my racing year, and it's always a good experience to get out a drive in wet / changeable conditions, even if it does mean your kit needs a good clean afterwards!

Anyway, that’s enough from me -

I’ll let you get back to your mince pies and mulled wine now! Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year, and I hope to see you all at a circuit somewhere in 2021

Take care

Ben
