    Watch this…

    I was very fortunate to be given a watch for my birthday last April. Part of a limited edition made by Christopher Ward Watches to commemorate the original Grand Prix Races, mine was the C70 IT Rosso which celebrated the first ever Italian Grand Prix in Brescia in 1921. Christopher Ward watches is a fairly…

    The RPJ Rock Ball 2012 – A Guest Blog

    How many people reading this enter competitions online and think that they actually have a chance of winning? I certainly don’t yet I still enter them. It’s a bit like playing the lottery. I have played the same numbers every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday without fail for years but as yet I haven’t matched all…

    The Thank You Economy

    I was reading a very well written piece on “The Thank You Economy” the other day. In it, the writer described how the growth of social media  and online networking gives companies the opportunity to say thank you to their clients.

    Customer Service According to News International

    I really didn’t want to join the large queue of people knocking News International, but they really made it too difficult not to. At Daytona, we strive to offer exemplary customer service.

    Surface Tension

    It has been my wish to get parts of the MK track re-surfaced for a number of years now. Long standing customers will know that the entry to turn two was extremely bumpy and uneven which made braking on the racing line quite tricky and also the run down from turn seven to turn eight…

    1.21 gigawatts? 1.21 gigawatts? Great Scott!

    You may have noticed that we like technology at Daytona. We aim to be at the cutting edge of motor-sport technology… well at least when it comes to karting. We don’t quite have the budgets that the F1 teams have with regard to using technology to go faster, but we do make very good use…

    F1 Driver For The Day – Simon Lester

    Like many motorsport enthusiasts, I’d always dreamed of driving a real F1 car on a race track. It was a dream that I never really believed would become a reality, until I heard about iRace. The guys at Lotus Renault GP have created what can only be described as the most amazing opportunity to drive…
