BUSY WEEK FOR MIKE AND FULLY BOOKED FOR NEXT MONTH

Hopefully the car will be out of the bodyshop early this week, as it needs preparing for Silverstone this week. The punt into the tyres wrecked the rear quater and has taken two weeks to fix.

Wednesday Mike has a driver coaching job at Whilton Mill. Back to showing how a TKM should be driven?

Friday is booked for Silverstone testing, subject to the car being ready

Saturday and Mike is working at Prodrive in the Lambo again. More thrill seekers to guide round the track, with the bonus of a few hot laps and a few rides in a range of Supercars.

Sunday and his return to Silverstone, where he made his Stock Hatch debut last year in the Kirmit Green Peugeot 106 numbered 125. Mike managed to scrape into the final after a thrilling heat where he just gained the last qualifying slot. Here we see him having passed Craig Emerson (21), but Craig seems to be trying a shorter route to get his own back! The aim that day had bee satisfied, and in tricky conditions Mike did his best to keep out of the bottom place with a good dice throughout with his friend Pip. A year on, and he will be disappointed not to qualify in the top 20 out of nearly 100 and hopefully make progress in the heats. A good top half finish in the final would show the progress he feels he has made.

There is a two week gap before his Oulton Park return, but every weekend for the next month will be fully booked providing karting race support for his two drivers.
