2011 British F3 International Series, Rounds 22-24 – Qualifying Report
2011 Cooper Tires British F3 International Series Rounds 22-24, Rockingham Motor Speedway, Northamptonshire, September 3rd/4th 2011, © Lynne Waite and Stella-Maria Thomas Weather: Cold, grey, dull. Changes: Back to normal without any Invitation Class runners which is probably a relief to all concerned. Instead we have a new Rookie Class runner in the shape of…
Travel 2011 – Nurburg, Adenau, Jezus-Eik, Germany, Belgium
Thursday, 30th June/Monday, 4th July 2011 – Nurburg, Adenau, Jezus-Eik, Germany, Belgium It occurred to me that I never did finish talking about Monza, and it’s too far away now. So instead I’ll go into detail about the last two trips, knowing that we have another two over the next three weeks. We started July…
Travel 2011 – Monza
Wednesday, 13th/Thursday, 14th April 2011 – Monza, Como, Brunate Wednesday was all about the travelling, and it was late in the evening when we made it to Milan Linate and then spent some time trying to round up our hire car. That got interesting, largely because Avis’ website is not quite as informative as it…
Travel 2009 – Portimao, Days 3 and 4
Saturday, 12th/Sunday, 13th September 2009 – Portimao, Days 3 and 4 Saturday morning dawned slightly cloudy but it soon cleared and we headed out to the circuit for qualifying. This time we left Bogusia at the hotel, and Natasha/Doris switched off, which meant that instead of taking an hour to reach the track it only…
Travel 2009 – Portimao, Days 1 and 2
Thursday, 10th/Friday, 11th September 2009 – Portimao, Days 1 and 2 We were quite excited about the prospect of going to the new race track, the Autodromo Algarve International after hearing many a driver rave about it. Anyway, with that in mind, we set off for Birmingham Airport and a flight to Faro late on…
Travel 2009 – Hockenheim, Zeltingen-Rachtig, Days 3 and 4
Saturday, 6th/Sunday, 7th June 2009 – Hockenheim, Zeltingen-Rachtig, Days 3 and 4 Saturday was a busyish day, with qualifying and one race, though it could have been worse. The weather wasn’t too good, but again that was pretty immaterial really. It had been an odd sort of race, with quite a few unexpected incidents, including…
Travel 2009 – Hockenheim, Days 1 and 2
Thursday, 4th/Friday, 5th June 2009 – Hockenheim, Days 1 and 2 It’s been a long time since we last did a road trip of any great note, probably because flights are so much cheaper these days than when we first started travelling to races in Europe quite so frequently back in 1989. Some of these…
Travel 2008 – Spa-Francorchamps, Days 3 and 4
Saturday, 2nd/Sunday 3rd August 2008 – Spa-Francorchamps, Days 3 and 4 The heat continued somewhat abated into Saturday and we all ran round like headless chickens despite the fact that in theory there wasn’t that much left to do. Mind you we hadn’t been helped in the morning’s race by a series of short but…
Travel 2008 – Spa-Francorchamps, Day 2
Friday, 1st August 2008 – Spa-Francorchamps, Day 2 Friday had its complications, but also revealed the best typo of the season so far when Oliver Turvey somehow got transformed into Oliver Turkey, which he’s not likely to be able to live down any time soon. Especially as the rotten buggers at Carlin all know about…
