http://www.benevansracing.co.uk Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:49:49 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Its been a long time since I've posted on here, and the past few months have been hectic, but highly enjoyable. At the start of the year the main project was the Formel Vau Championship. I had a hugely enjoyable time racing the car and after claiming my win at Varano ... http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2008/11/19/vee-festival-and-commentating/ In 2007 nothing in my motorsport world went right, if something could go wrong or if there was bad luck going round, I got it. This year it has been the opposite, in the past couple of weeks I have had two great opportunities and experiences come my way. Firstly there was ... http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2008/06/22/a-win-and-world-series-by-renault/ Its been ages since I last posted here, largely because I haven't had a moment to sit down and write. The start to the 2008 season has been my best yet in motorsport, the racing is going well and the commentary is growing and growing. The European season got off the best ... http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2008/05/26/a-great-start-to-the-year/ Anyone following Formula Vee this winter will know that all is not well in the Formula. At the instigation of 12 individuals (and allegedly one team), 750mc decided to introduce a class B for the 2008 Championship. Due to the fact that the consultation period was negligable and that the ... http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2008/02/23/afd-class-b-an-unncessary-mess/ 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 ... http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2008/02/03/all-change-for-2008/ Anyone who knows me will be well aware of the fact that Pembrey is far from my favourite place, in fact it is only kept off the bottom of the list by Swansea. As a result my expectations for the weekend were roughly those of Tim Henman going into Wimbledon. ... http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2007/06/25/a-successful-trip-to-wales/ So far this season has been a strange one for me. In the last 3 races I've been in strong podium positions in each, yet have only converted one to a meaningful points finish. Lydden Hill was a probably my strongest meeting in Vee so far. Saturday's race should have been ... http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2007/05/28/an-interesting-season/ Mallory Park last Sunday was as good a start to the season as I could realistically have hoped for with 4th place matching my best finish of 2006. Qualifying was good in that I made it straight through to the final, but frustrating in that I only qualified 10th, having traded ... http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2007/03/17/a-great-start/ Paradoxically after what seems like an endless winter break Mallory Park has arrived very quickly. It's hard to belive that the first race of 2007 is less than a week away, and I can't wait. Pre-season testing kicked off last Tuesday with a very positive test in the wet at Snetterton and ... http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2007/03/03/mallory-park/ After making my way to the Autosport Internation on Thursday I'm beginning to really feel the build up to the 2007. That it is less than two months until Mallory Park is only serving to ramp up that anticipation. Admittedly the calendar is not what I would have hoped for. ... http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2007/01/13/2007/
