Dubai 24 hours

Dubai 24 hours

Winter break finished and I was back to Silverstone for some lovely heat chamber work before heading out to Dubai.  Me and Bryan had 5 sessions x 1hr of heat acclimatisation, including a 3hr driver assessment!  To get an idea what a heat chamber is like, imagine getting off a plane in the peak of [...]

Japan Tour 2012 – day 8: MiNES, Tomei, Bee*Racing and Nordring

Japan Tour 2012 – day 8: MiNES, Tomei, Bee*Racing and Nordring

Day 8 began in the same way as the other ‘garage tour’.  Breakfast was far too early for some but the coach at least have some time for a snooze.  The only difference this time was the snow! Japan does get snow, and a lot of it, in the north of the country, but for [...]

Japan Tour 2012 – day 7: RFC Race Simulator, Sumo Wrestling and Tokyo Bay cruise

Today was a day of contrasts and perhaps the single best social event of the tour. The day began with a trip to see a Race Simulator.  The state of the art technology gave all of us the chance to drive in a simulator, competing against our fellow club members.   The day began with a [...]

Japan Tour 2012 – day 6: meeting with the R35GTR Club

After days of automotive nirvana a change of pace was called for – and a lay in! Originally planned as a day off, the afternoon was now to be spent as guests of Orito-san at the Tokyo Sky Tree.  So the morning was a time for shopping, catching up with people back home and relaxing.  [...]

Japan Tour 2012 – day 5: Robson, GReddy, Top Secret, Powerhouse Amuse, Midori Seibi

Half way through the tour and with little sleep the tour party was as energized as ever.  It seems passion, enthusiasm, camaraderie and the lure of the itinerary was a drug better than any other.  Today was to be the first of the tours around tuning shops and garages.  With a tour group of 16 [...]

Japan Tour 2012 – day 4: Nissan DNA Centre (Zama) and Nissan HQ

Zama Storage Facility is one of a myriad of large warehouses in an area that spans hundreds of acres.  Though there are many buildings both small and large the area in general is split into three sections and we wound our way through them to get to a high security area.  After some interrogation by [...]

Japan Tour 2012 – day 4: GT-R Engine Plant

Every trip has good days and great days and some of the great days have some truly exceptional events.  Day four was a great day.  The day where we visited Nissan’s VR38 engine assembly plant and clean room, as well as their engine test facility.  Add to that a no-holds barred tour of the Zama [...]

Japan Tour 2012 – day 3: Fuji Speedway

For Some Day Three began almost immediately as Day Two ended.  A 6:45 a.m. departure for Fuji Speedway meant breakfast was about getting into the restaurant as soon as it opened. Originally the Sunday had been planned as a relaxing day with some sightseeing, shopping and some visits around Tokyo.  That all changed when the [...]

Japan Tour 2012 – day 2: Tokyo Auto Salon

The tour party assembled for breakfast.  Bleary eyed, hung over but excited.  Joined by breakfast by three local members we then headed off the The Tokyo Auto Salon at the Makuhari Messe.  We set of in time honoured fashion, a large group of us all excited like small children, in a convoy of black GT-R [...]

Japan Tour 2012 – day 1

Tours begin as tours always do.  Everyone meting up, some people know each other and some only a few.  But all in all the first meeting sets the tone for the days ahead.  So when we all met at the airport – next to the Sushi bar of course – the chat was about cars, [...]

My time in Austria Bobsleighing.

I’ve done some really cool stuff since winning GT Academy, for example during GT Academy week I flew an aerobatic plane! Which I didn’t throw up in! Luckily. What I did last week though is right up there. I went Bobsleighing in Austria with teammate Jordan Tresson.  This came about because a couple of months [...]
