Qualifying Result Max Verstappen Lando Norris George Russell Race Result Max Verstappen Fernando Alonso Pierre Gasly Yes, I know. This is super late. But I do have a reason. Writing this would put an end to the Dutch GP for me. Which means my focus would be on the next race. And as a Ferrari fan, that means:  Monza Misery Tifosi Trauma Yep, I'm preparing for a difficult weekend. So let's live in the past a bit longer! Speaking of Tifosi Trauma, it was another mixed to bad weekend for Ferrari. A botched pitstop, a car retirement and a fifth place at best. All this and I didn't even wear any Ferrari merch! Although I did fall off a barstool and get hot chocolate thrown all over me in two separate incidents that day so I guess I should have seen it coming... Oh and Lance! He had a tough race too! Although I just checked and he actually came 11th with is better than I remember. But yeah, I was definitely cursed that day... Liam Lawson had an impressive debut after replacing poo...

So I wanted to start this series back when I went to Budapest and Belgium but I just never got around to it in a timely fashion. Maybe one day I'll post them as a little bonus post, perhaps in winter break...  This weekend I've headed down to my favourite and first race track (spoiler in the title) Donington for the British Touring Car Championship. This is the second time this year the event is being held here but the first time in 21 years that they are using this particular layout of the track, the GP circuit. Not only is it a big weekend for this reason but Goodyear tyres are marking their 125th anniversary at the track this weekend. Should be in for a fun filled weekend... Here is my diary of the weekend:  Friday 25th August Not a good start to the weekend guys. I had the worst burger from Burger King, the cheapest bottle of wine I could find was £8 and my hotel parking cost me £20 for two nights and I'm barely going to be parked there... Can't massively complain t...

 Back in February this year, I booked a ticket for the Ultimate Supercar Show at Elvington Airfield including a paddock pass (I was feeling baller at the time, I actually had money). Sunday 20th August and I finally got to see what I paid for... What a disappointment!  I get that it was the first ever show of the event but I honestly can't decide if it was the 'Ultimate Supercar Show' due to the quality of the cars there or the overall quality of the show. Because let me tell you, I was surrounded by supercars (there's no dispute about that) but I was also bored after an hour of being there. Let me explain the setup.  I parked up in the 'normal car' car park, walked towards where the event was taking place, which included walking though a separate parking area with a bunch of supercars that spectators had arrived in. We're talking Mustangs, McLaren's, Porsche's, Ferrari's etc. All very beautiful. After this, you were met with a couple of kids rid...

  Qualifying Result Ash Sutton Josh Cook Jake Hill Race One Jake Hill Andrew Watson Ricky Collard (with post race penalties in mind) Race Two Jake Hill Ash Sutton Stephen Jelley Race Three Ash Sutton Josh Cook Tom Ingram What. A. Weekend! Pure chaos!  This weekend was the most thrilling set of races of the season so far. We gotta thank the good old Scottish weather for helping the carnage. It was a miracle that anyone actually finished the first race in my opinion. Think you'd have been better off in a canoe the way the water was running down the track.  Not only was it the Scottish weather mixing things up on the grid but cars failing technical checks post race. Championship contender, Tom Ingram, and teammate Tom Chilton originally claimed 1st and 3rd place in race one, only to fail the ride height checks afterwards. Later in the day, we found out that both Excelr8 drivers were disqualified from the results and placed at the back of the grid for race two. Another of the...

Hi all! How are we enjoying summer break so far?  I'm full of cold from the Belgian rain but it was so worth it. Lucky for me, I have a couple weeks at home before I hit the road for more on track action.  So today I wanted to take a look at the drivers who are out of contract this year before silly season really kicks off. Logan Sargeant (Photo by Qian Jun/MB Media/Getty Images) So in my head, Logan is actually doing really well as a Rookie and especially a Rookie in a Williams. However, the points table says otherwise as he currently sits at 19th out of 21 drivers that have raced this year. The two drivers lower? Nyck De Vries and Daniel Ricciardo, and for obvious reasons we know why this is. But again, Logan has felt quite strong this year so I do hope that he gets another season to prove himself. James Vowles seems to know what he's doing over at Williams so hopefully his mission next year is extracting the best out of both his drivers, not just the more experienced one. Z...

  Qualifying Result Dan Cammish Dan Rowbottom Ash Sutton AKA: A NAPA Lockout Race 1 Dan Cammish Ash Sutton Dan Rowbottom Race 2 Ash Sutton Dan Cammish Dan Rowbottom Race 3 Colin Turkington Tom Ingram Josh Cook So first of all, I want to acknowledge the elephant in the room. Yes, I know in my last BTCC post I said that I was going to this round of the BTCC since it's probably my closest one to attend. My plans ended up changing as my friend couldn't make it and then I got invited to the Belgian Grand Prix so I obviously had to accept... But we are back for the second half of the season! It feels like it's been a stupidly long time since we were at Oulton Park but yet the season seems to be going really fast at the same time... Can you believe we only have 4 events left in the season? I wish we could have more races on the calendar but that's just me being greedy. There's been a few changes since we were last on the grid. Let's start with Jade Edwards (because she...
