Ben Evans Racing

Tomorrow the 2006 Formula Vee Championship takes me to Thruxton, the quickest circuit in the country, where I am hopeful of another strong result.

As usual the Bank Holiday weather promises to be wet (I understand the Vee drivers have asked to enter a team for next year’s Round the World Yacht race given our extensive experience of competing on water), but to paraphrase Kimi Raikkonen we made a ‘big step’ forward in the wet at Donington. To paraphrase me, it means I drove better in the wet than I have before, and we nailed the set up.

Due to the local druids at Stonehenge complaining about the noise, testing at Thruxton is extremely limited so I will be driving the track blind tomorrow morning (along with the majority of the field) and as such qualifying promises to be extremely entertaining. In lieu of limited testing I have had to resort to the Playstation and old F3 videos to prepare for the race.

Even so I am confident of a good finish that will hopefully propel me higher up the championship standings, and without a doubt the race will be a corking slipstreaming epic.

As always please come and say Hi in the paddock if you’re coming along to the race tomorrow.
