I write this having just returned from Silverstone for the final BTCC meeting of the year. Sadly we didn't see Jason Plato take the championship, a puncture in the first race made sure of that. However we did see some really good racing with Alex Lynn winning in the Renault single seaters, which was good.
We also bumped into Chris van de Drift, a talented driver who's career was almost finished with a huge smash in 2010. We first met him at a charity go-cart race at Milton Keynes Raceway organised to raise money for his treatment. I am pleased to report he is almost fully fit, just a swollen finger left to heal, and he has been back behind the wheel of a race car with plans for next year in hand. Good luck to him.
We have returned home from the race to the news of a huge 15 car pile up in the Las Vegas Indy Car race, with several drivers in hospital after cars hit each other and the wall and included 3 cars flying through the air. All drivers are ok except for Dam Wheeldon of who we currently have no news. I do hope he is ok and that all the drivers involved get well soon.
