    After following the BTCC since 1990 and doing everything I can over the last 5 years to get in to one of these cars....

    The time has come and I'm now being let loose in one for a test at Silverstone tomorrow

    Cannot wait to get out in it!

    Good luck that would be great and give me someone else to cheer next year!
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    This really is AWESOME news for you. Looking forward to hearing how you do. And really hope it turns into a ride next year. I know you have your sights set on USA, but I'm sure you wouldn't knock back a BTCC ride competing in 2013, would you?
