It’s not often you get to see oval racing in the UK, but I managed to witness some yesterday with the Pick Up Truck racing at Rockingham on the same bill as the Fiesta Juniors. The event certainly had a US feel to it, with the trucks being reminiscent of some of the American racing…
This weekend saw the Fiesta Junior Championship 2015 at Rockingham as part of the BRSCC event there. For those not familiar with the championship, it includes drivers aged between 14 and 17 racing Ford Fiestas. You can often judge the success of a series like this by its alumni, and in the case of the Fiesta…
Last weekend’s British GT event included an appearance for Formula Jedi 2015 at Donington Park. The exciting single seater series was one of a number of support races, and included two races over the course of the weekend. This year’s season has three clear title contenders, in Ben Hingeley, Lee Morgan and Michael Watton, who between…
Last weekend saw the climax of the British GT 2015 at Donington Park. It promised to be an exciting weekend with the line up including the excellent BRDC F4 championship and Formula Jedi, as well as several other support races, and it certainly lived up to the hype with great racing action across the various…
Last weekend I went to watch BTCC 2015 at Rockingham, enjoying the lovely sunshine of a September weekend whilst watching the touring car action. The day was made even better for us by participating in the grid walk before the race and having a look at the cars up close as they were setting up.…
Last weekend saw a welcome return as the World Series by Renault 2015 moved to Silverstone. The popular series was a regular visitor at Silverstone from 2008 until 2011, and previous to that at Donington Park, before a hiatus in 2012 that saw it missing from the Northamptonshire circuit’s fixtures until this year. The event…

Just like GP2 and GP3, there were two races of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup at the 2015 Belgium Grand Prix in keeping with the support race schedule for the European Grand Prix circuit. The event was augmented by the inclusion of World Rally Champion Sebastian Loeb – we saw him standing between La Source…
Following the normal Formula One European support race format, there was of course action from GP3 at the 2015 Belgium Grand Prix. The practice session saw Luca Ghiotto top the times for Trident, a feat he managed to repeat for qualifying, holding off the ART Grand Prix car of Esteban Ocon who qualified second. Third…
Last weekend’s GP2 at the 2015 Belgium Grand Prix was, as normal, full of excitement and action. The weekend started for the GP2 teams with practice on Friday, which I watched from Eau Rouge. The view is so spectacular that rather than taking photos, I spent the time just watching the cars climb up the ascent…
Last weekend saw the Formula One circus move to Spa Francorchamps for the 2015 Belgium Grand Prix, in the forests and hills of the Belgium countryside. Spa has a reputation as one of the best circuits on the F1 calendar, and first time visitors normally comment that no matter how steep you expect the hills…

The Fiesta Junior championship is in its fourth season, with drivers aged between 14 and 17 racing Ford Fiestas. Many of their alumni have gone on…
