I had a reply to my email asking for info.  I quote “Hi, we are sending out the qualifying letters now. Due to the postal strike we had to wait, making sure that all applicants would receive their post. If you do not receive anything by post by the 7th November please give us a call.”  When I hear, you’ll hear.   You can read what happened when I entered the previous event by selecting the “So You Want to be an F1...

I’m back in the driving seat, well soon anyway.   I’m waiting for my regular karting buddy to book a holiday day so we can go karting again.   You may remember that this years F1 Drivers’ Challenge was supposed to start after the British F1 GP, but I haven’t heard anything from them yet.  I emailed them two weeks ago but didn’t receive a reply.  I’ve emailed them again today and I’ll post more...

Can you guess what car it is? It should be easy now, if you look hard enough. No prizes, though. If you think you know, post a comment (click Comment below). I’ll post the answer in two weeks time. I would have been attending Round 5 of the competition last...
