What do you do when you are 56 and want a new hobby? I decided to take up motor racing in my daily driver, a Subaru STI with PPP.

After finishing Silverstone without too much to do to the car we went into the round at Oulton Park fairly confident of a good race. In qualifying the car felt the best it ever had and we qualified a strong 8th out of 26. This was to be my highest ever start position, on the 4th row of the grid. I was slightly apprehensive as I was amongst a lot of cars that I hadn’t been around before, so I wasn’t sure how they raced. I got a good start overtaking a few, but was on the outside at the first corner and was pushed wide onto the grass losing quite a few places, but was still 2nd in Class.
