  • Hungary for Racing?

    Hungary for Racing?

    After a three week gap, F1 is back this weekend with the Hungarian Grand Prix. Since the last race, the teams have run their “young” drivers tests and Pirelli have changed the tyres again and it looks like it might help Ferrari and Lotus more than it will help Mercedes and Red Bull. If that…

  • Home Run for Vettel – and Murray!

    Home Run for Vettel – and Murray!

    Finally Sebastian Vettel wins the German Grand Prix. Considering his dominance in recent years and the stack of youngest driver records he holds, it is somewhat surprising that, before yesterday, he had never won his home Grand Prix. On the same day that Vettel was winning at home for the first time, Andy Murray won…

  • Explosive Grand Prix

    Explosive Grand Prix

    Someone at the FIA has a sense of humour. The press release they put out after Sunday’s British Grand Prix was hit with rear tyres going bang left, right and centre, proclaimed: “Rosberg Wins Explosive Grand Prix”. British fans made themselves heard on Sunday when they cheered Hamilton as he led the race, fell silent…

  • From Monaco to Montreal…

    From Monaco to Montreal…

    After the excitement of Monaco, the F1 circus crosses the pond again to Canada this week for the Grand Prix Du Canada. The tyre testing debate rages on with the FIA investigating Mercedes and Ferrari for their in-season tests, but the next race is more likely to be affected by weather than anything else. F1…

  • Karting, Go Karting or Kart Racing?

    Karting, Go Karting or Kart Racing?

    We constantly have a debate within the team about the best way to refer to the activities that we offer. Whilst the majority of our business involves drivers racing karts around our tracks  and other circuits, we cannot agree on what it should be called. The majority of our customers phone us and ask for…

  • Monaco… The Ultimate Street Race!

    Monaco… The Ultimate Street Race!

    And so F1 heads back to Monte Carlo for its unique event. The racing isn’t usually much cop, although the crashes and incidents are pretty much guaranteed to be dramatic, but the glitz and glamour usually make up for the processional racing. Maybe this year, things will be different… This year, even more than ever,…

  • F1 reaches Europe

    F1 reaches Europe

    After what seems like a really long gap, the F1 season continues this weekend, in Spain. The fact that it feels like months since the last race is probably testimony to how exciting the season has been so far. We have only had four races so far, out of 19, but we have seen a lot of…

  • Webber’s Woes

    Webber’s Woes

    Three weeks ago, Mark Webber had a pretty rubbish race weekend after his team-mate ignored team orders and overtook him to “steal” his win. At the time, Webber probably thought that things could only get better, but if you watched the Chinese Grand Prix, then you know that his Annus Horribilis continued in a similar…

  • Team Orders

    Team Orders

    So the 2013 F1 season looks like being a belter already. If the team-mates infighting controversy is anything to go by, the F1 Show is going to entertain us again this year. In 2012 we had seven different winners in the first seven races, which made a very welcome change to the one team dominance that had…

  • Oh yes… Lotus!

    Oh yes… Lotus!

    So who predicted that Lotus would win the first GP of the year? If I take a look back at what I said here a couple of days before the Australian GP, the most glaring issue is the complete lack of mention of Lotus. I referred to Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull as the…
