Provided the car preparation is completed tonight and Mike can organise some way of getting the car from Donington to Mallory Park for Wednesday morning, Mike will be setting out to learn the track ready for the meeting on Sunday 10th August. Hopefully car owner Matt Wisher will be there to assist with driver coaching as he is based at the circuit with Everyman Racing.On Sunday, Mike will be in class D which is for modified cars upto 1600cc. As the Peugeot 106 is very basic with no modifications except for the safety requirements, and hasn't seen a track for two years, he obviously won't win first time out!
As a bonus, Mike has also been entered in the final race which is a saloon versus sports cars race. Considering most vehicles will be a minimum of ten times the value of his, once again it will just be an exercise to collect another signature towards his National A. If all goes to plan and subject to funding, 2009 will be the season to make a mark. A full report with lap times will follow. We are unsure about TV coverage for this event and will make a posting as soon as we know. Good luck to the Klaassen team at the TKM festival and to Ash Hand at the GP meeting at PFI.
