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 […]

There is something unique about the challenge that a 24 Hour race poses to the drivers (and their supporters). I have raced in about 6 of them over the years and, in spite of the very best plans to ensure that all drivers had enough rest, nothing compares to the feeling of complete and absolute […]

As the 2013 Formula One Season kicks off this weekend in Melbourne, the four month racing drought ends and we find out who’s new cars are fastest. The teams have spent the Winter developing their new cars, using last year’s experience and a lot of competitor analysis to try to develop a race (and championship) […]

I admit to waking up on Sunday 13th January with a bit of a headache. Luckily the headache was not caused by any on track incidents, but by too much red wine the night before, as the Vodafone Dmax team joined with 60 of our drivers to celebrate the 2012 series and to present the […]

As the world wakes up to New Year’s Day and for many the inevitable hangover from too much consumption, I have a slightly smug hangover-free smile on my face.

Today’s blog is all about BMW and their support for England Rugby. The pavements were crowded in Richmond last Saturday. […]

  It’s that time of the year again. It’s that time that the Experience Voucher people get all excited about. A huge percentage of the experience vouchers sold each year are sold as Christmas presents – and this includes karting vouchers. We all know how easy it is to buy someone a voucher and that […]

Part of my job involves wandering around the interweb seeing what people are saying about us and about our competitors. As a geek, I don’t mind spending time travelling the on-line highways and byways looking for relevant feedback on what people think about what we do – but some days it is an absolute delight […]

We launched our Christmas Voucher Offer a couple of weeks ago and can positively confirm that women are so much more organised than men when it comes to purchasing Christmas Presents.  As I said in a previous blog, we have to overcome our own natural antipathy about talking about Christmas in October – we actually […]
