On November 6th and 7th, I will be competing in the Walter Hayes Trophy.
This is a huge meeting with over 100 competitors already entered with time still left for more competitors to give it a go.
As you can imagine I am very excited to be racing in a meeting with such a large number of competitors and depth of field, with having Formula 3 race winners and champions, for me to pitch my skills agains.
National College for Motorsport's car in 2009
I am racing in the National College for Motorsport’s 1992 Van Diemen RF92, car previously raced by GP3 racer Josef Newgarden, who brought the car home in 6th place. The car will be prepared and ran by the students at the college. Although it is still a Formula Ford, it is to different specifications to the car I have been racing this year (old specifications) running a less powerful engine and different multi purpose tyres. Where the car I ran this year ran Slicks or wets depending on the weather conditions. So i have a fair bit to learn about the car in practice, which is always fun.
My first test in the car will be this coming Thursday. So untill then I will be clock watching like an excited child waiting for christmas.
