Hi everyone, and happy new year!
2009 has arrived and my preparations for the new season are continuing.
It seems impossible to escape the financial crisis at the moment, with new stories breaking daily about corporations in dire straits, and no doubt this will have a large knock-on effect in motorsport. Personally I have analysed my budget for the coming season and things are perhaps not as bright as they should be. Despite this I am still concentrating on my own performance improvement in the gym, and spending as much of my spare time preparing the car as possible.
Fortunately for me, the 750 Motor Club have launched a new initiative within the Locost Championship, allowing 2 drivers to share 1 car and accumulate points towards a team championship. At the moment this is looking like the most likely option for the coming season, but we will see what develops in the next couple of months.
On a separate note, my race preparation company TMC Motorsport has a new website, you can check it out at http://www.tmcmotorsport.co.uk
There?s plenty more to come on there in the next couple of weeks, so keep checking back as often as you can!
Similarly, my own personal website http://www.mattcherrington.com is on the way, and will hopefully be up and working within the next couple of weeks!
In the meantime the preparations continue with Autosport International at the NEC in Birmingham this weekend, and I will have an update for you after we return from that. If anyone is going along please drop me a line on info@tmcmotorsport.co.uk and maybe we?ll see you there!
Until then,
Matt
