    Just a little excited!

    OK so a mate of mine is in the the GB Carrera Cup

    I got a message from him the other night asking if I could get to Silverstone on Monday as it was his birthday and he was going to be taking some mates out in passenger rides around Silverstone. Cue the next and me begging my boss for next monday off, hes finally said yes!

    Lucky you, will you get a ride in the Porsche 991 in the picture?

    Re: Just a little excited!

    Le Mans 2014 24hr weekend racing in Carrera Cup in the new 991 Cup car for the first time. This had been my dream to race at Le Mans for 20years! I still pinch myself everyday. I got 2nd in Pro-Am class too!
    Nurburgring 24hr race in 2014, where I raced in a Porsche with 3 great drivers and finished 3rd in class and 32nd overall out of over 200 race cars
    he's quick then! you're in a for a bum clenching ride mate!

    Awesome! Looking forward to hearing how it goes

    Side note - Does Alex Roy still run a team in that series or has he gone back to using radar detectors for a living?

    Aye he was quick at Le Mans, I was sat in Dunlop stand cheering him on like a loony! Dutch guy next to me kept giving me funny looks, until I explained I knew him! Scott was still on a high at 9pm when we met up for dinner at the Auberge des Hunaudières some 8 hours after finishing his race! Scott still gets misty eyed about that race.
