SOME EARLY FOOTAGE OF MIKE DRIVING FOR MARANELLO IN 2004

Having won the TKM Festival in 2003 and three Super 1 rounds (but one being excluded for entering a transposed chassis number by mistake) and two runner up slots, Mike tested with Ben Hanley (2008 Renault F1 test driver?) and was almost as quick, so he secured a seat for 2004 in this ultra competative class, which at the time contained drivers who are now very well respected in the sport. F2 drivers such as Palmer, Surtees and Brundell and Formula Renault front runners such as Adam Christo and Stephan Wilson. Others are now in Formula Ford or Ginettas, which is probably where Mike should be with the right funding. We believe that these are in chronological order, but its 5 years ago. Buckmore shows just what was possible with the right set up.

Unfortunately YouTube only allows a maximum of 10 minutes, and some of these unedited races just went over that time, so we have roughtly split the footage in half. Mike finishes all the rounds and while there is always plenty of action in part 1, Mike often picks up places in the second half of the races.
