… is Bex!
As the Formula 1 season has restarted, with an exciting finish to the first race (1st Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), 1h39m20.396s; 2nd Felipe Massa (Ferrari), 1h39m36.495s; 3rd Lewis Hamilton (McLaren), 1h39m43.578s), I am reminiscing about my experience day out in a single seater at the Three Sisters Circuit… I was not quite that fast!!! It was such a great day… we started by being taken around on a lap in an MG to be shown: “A is for Apex; B is for Brake; T is for throttle”, then undertook 3 laps in the MG as a driver to see if we were up to being put into the single seater cars! I even got an A for something…
Then it was time to go into the single-seater car… all was going well until I stalled near the start line, so I was a bit behind by the time we hit the lap – the etiquette is that if another car is coming up faster, you need to pull to the side so they can go through, so I never really got my lap time up… and was quite busy waving at my friends who had my camera :-) Just as they went in and I thought – finally… they let the next set of cars out!! Still, I came off the track beaming – my friends said they’d never seen me so happy! Slightly frustrated at not having been as fast as I wanted, I then signed up to be a passenger in a car which most definitely had a twitchy back end…, 3 laps of amazing fun!!
