your sponsor sticker is falling off. hope you put a new one on cos it is causing massive drag there


I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Thats the team name

Well we qualified on pole with a 1 second lead over 2nd place.
Race 2 we finished 2nd, due to being no last lap board so that fucked the whole thing up, as with caterham racing the tow on the last lap is what will win you the race.

That night i diagnosed the engine with a possible head gasket failure so convinced the drivers to let me change it.
1 hour later i had the new engine in the car and running. which is a new record as far as removing an engine, changing all the loom and sensors to the new one, fitting that back into the car, then connecting to the bellhousing and box assembly - so gained huge respect from the drivers and team mates which is what i really needed and wanted

Race 2 we started 2nd, got hit from behind so lost time in the pits with removing a wing but we managed to hold the 2nd guy off and win by 0.33s after 1 hours worth of racing!

So a 1st and 2nd for my car so i was over the moon really

Eugh hate cider of any description, I know it's different to what kids used to drink at 13 but it's got a nasty place in my head forever
