All Change for 2008
It’s been a long time since I have written anything for this website, that for a number of reasons, firstly the 2007 season petered out so disappointingly that I couldn’t face writing anything and secondly I have been busy putting in place my plans for 2008.
In 2008 I will be competing in the European/German Formula Vee Championship racing in the ex-Patrick Sherrington Scarab, run by Martyn Donn and Andy Storer. I cannot wait for the season to get underway as I think that we have a very good chance to challenge for the title overall and a number of wins along the way. In 2007 my car wasn’t at the cutting edge of the field, in 2008 it definitely will be.
Although the calendar is not 100% confirmed, it looks like there will be races at Dijon, Most, Spa, Hockenheim, Magny Cours and Monza - in other words a dream calendar. Quite simply I cannot wait to get stuck in. I’m currently searching for sponsors, so if you are intersted please get in touch (benfrombristol@hotmail.com) and I will send you a proposal.
However my plans for 2008 are not just confined to driving. Towards the end of 2007 I began to pick up the commentators microphone and thanks to the incredibly generous support of Brian Jones and David Addison had the opportunity to commentate at several high-profile end of season events including the Formula Ford Festival and Formula Palmenr Audi Shootout.
My commentary schedule for 2008 is not yet finalised, however I will be commentating in at least 4 weekends during the season and hopefully more - if you know of any potential commentary opportunities please get in touch.
All told 2008 looks like being a cracking year of racing and commentating coming up, and quite simply, I cannot wait for the season to get underway
