I spent today (Saturday) watching on track action by the NGRRC at Donington Park in the glorious May sunshine. The NG Road Racing Club started life as the North Gloucestershire Road Racing Club back in 1970 with a first race meeting at Gaydon in 1971. The club has grown since, and this weekend sees plenty…
Stoffel Vandoorne was born in the Belgian town of Kortijk in 1992, and began karting in 1998. By 2008, he was the Belgian KF2 karting champion, and the following year the runner up in the FIA World Cup for the same series. He moved on to single seater cars, with 2010 seeing him race in the…
The British Superbike season starts in April, and the first BSB Official Test 2016 was held today at Silverstone as the riders got to show off their bikes ahead of the championship, which opens back at the Northamptonshire circuit on the weekend of the 8th-10th April. Reigning champion Josh Brookes is not in the series…
Last weekend saw the first round of the British Superbikes championship, and I went along to see BSB2015. I had been to the media day the previous week, and was impressed by the number of people that attracted, so it was not a surprise that the circuit was looking busy. Recently, the British Superbikes at…
I happened to be at Silverstone today for a meeting and found out that it happened to coincide with the Ginetta Media 2015 which saw the launch of the cars for the various Ginetta series this year, so naturally I popped along. As I drove from the Wing over to the National Pits, I could…
I wrote recently about going to Brands Hatch to see the BRDC F4 championship race there, and also that the British Formula Three series was at the same event. Both series were support races for the British GT championship 2014, with the GT3 and GT4 series both racing in the feature event, the Sunday lunchtime…
I spent some of the bank holiday weekend that heralds the end of August at the BTRA Truck Racing event at Donington Park, which was fantastic fun. I posted before about a previous trip to watch truck racing at Donington, and thought it would be good to go back and see some more. I took…
One of the great things about motor racing is that there are so many fantastic series for most of us still to discover. I went along to Silverstone last weekend to experience the BRDC F4 championship for the first time, complete with its series of support races. Like many of the series outside the top…
I recently posted about attending the Auto GP event at Donington Park recently. This was part of the same weekend as Superstars World, which was the headline event. For those not familiar with Superstars World, or International Superstars as it is also known, it is a Touring Car formula based in Italy, and has been…
Donington Park played host this week to the Superstars World series, and the event included rounds of the Auto GP championship, the current version of the formula that has been previously known as Euro Formula 3000 or Euroseries 3000 over the years. There are plenty of up and coming names in the sport, like Kimiya…
It seems traditional now that spectators at the European Grands Prix races will also get the opportunity to see Porsche racing in the form of the Porsche SuperCup, and the Porsche Supercup at the 2013 British Grand Prix meant that this was still true for those who spent the last weekend of June at Silverstone.…
Among the various support races that take place at Grands Prix, particularly those in the European races, is the GP3 tournament, and I was able to watch some of the GP3 racing at the 2013 British Grand Prix in June. The racing is normally very competitive in GP3, just like GP2, as drivers compete not…
