The Provisional dates for 2007 MR2 Challenge

These dates are as i say provisional and may be changed before the racing season starts in 2007.
we will still have 12 rounds to compete in however the same as last year, but four of those hopefully will stay double headers thus helping to keep down the racing costs.

April 6th & 7th......double header(one race each day) at Snetterton.
May 6th & 7th.......double header(one race each day) at Cadwell Park, my local circuit!
June 2nd...............single round at Donnington Park
June 24th.............double header(two races in one day) at Mallory Park
July 28th..............single round at Brands Hatch
Aug 25th...............single round at Silvertone, on the international circuit!
Sept 28th..............double header(two races in one day) at Snetterton
Oct 14th................single round at Mallory Park

should be great!

So to who we are, Stuart has been a racer for many years in 250 National Karts on long circuits, and me, well i started in 2005 and i chose the MR2 Challenge to play in, this made sense to me as i have had MR2`s for many years on the road, but now i was going to race a MK1 not a MK2 Turbo (big difference), however the little MK1 handles superbly against the MK2 and i am loving it.

But one more year of learning race craft and i will move on to a MK2 in 2008 , but for this year i will have a flying little car as light as you can get a MK1.

Getting ready for 2007

So it starts again! This nice little 1989 MK1 will be my weapon of choice
next year , at this moment being made as light as possible "as you can see ", not a lot will remain!

It will be resprayed in "PANTHER BLACK" meow! All done in the drive again, so Stu needs thermals for
Christmas.

LEDA Suspension will be sent off to be refurbed,and this year a real treat, the car is going to be fully
weighed and balanced "with me in it", on each corner. this we are told will dramatically improve the car over all in the balance stakes "you will think it is a different car", Pete Morgan said the owner of Balmuir Garage who set my car up for me , Pete has also raced for many years with Stu in karts and has been more than successful in car racing for many seasons, he now professionally tunes cars and runs a rolling road service.

So i have no excuses, "I should spin with style now!" Only joking this year is my real test, i had third place over all taken away from me due to mechanical issues last year and i do not intend to have a repeat of history this year. i have proved i am not a slow racer, and now i intend to prove i can be a consistent front runner as well!
