Yesterday we drove an hour up the road to the Croft Circuit for a press day where they wanted to film and take pictures of the cars that turned up. To be honest, it was quite a good turn out actually with a few cars from different race series altogether. Our was the only one from Time Attack there, and with not many people know what that was, the car didn't half get some attention!
So much so, there is a few shots of it (including in car footage) of it out on track yesterday by ITV News.
We've owned the car 2 and a half years now I think and yesterday was my first passenger ride, ever. I had no opportunity before as the rest of the events were races where no passengers were allowed!
News Report:
The sound of revving engines and screeching tyres have filled the air near Darlington.
Cars raced around Croft Circuit to mark the start of its new season, reaching speeds of more than 200 miles an hour.
Many of the drivers who will take part are from our region.
And, as Jonny Blair reports, it's a small circuit making some big noise.
You can watch his full report below.
