SEMA

The biggest aftermarket auto show in the World, held every year in Las Vegas.

The show was just as crazy as ever and featured a display of full sized Hot Wheels cars, celebrating 50 years of Hot Wheels.

I also met up with local (to me) legend, Sam Hard of Hard Up Garage who brought his NASCHARGER to the event.

Check him out at https://hardupgarage.com/

The Friday evening is the SEMA Cruise with all the cars and trucks rolling out to an after party - check out my videos on YouTube https://youtu.be/r0yjxJtbxzI

As well as the show there were a lot of supercars round town.

Croix En Ternois Track Day ****POSTPONED****

So I've teamed up with CKRacingUk to put on a track day in France at Croix En Ternois.

I visited the circuit last year and I have to tell you it was a lot of fun in the MX-5.

Details can be found on the Wessex Car Club Facebook page

Or you can contact me directly.

The deal is for £350 you get return sailing on DFDS (for standard cars), two nights hotel, track day, run pack andphotos

We are also hoping to have some tuition available

Details

4th Oct Ferry out 18.20 Dover to Calais
travel to hotel
Track day will be open pitlane 9am to 6pm - there will be two hours for lunch 12-2pm
105db limit
Dinner & fun Thursdaynight at the hotel
6th Oct Return Friday evening 20.10 sailing - gives plenty of time to do a bit of sightseeing on Friday before returning - maybe a trip to the old GP track at Reims?

As we have to pay 50% deposit for the track, we need £100 deposit from people by 14th May.

Just so you know the £350 covers the car and two (ferry) passengers, hotel room is also for two and you can have an additional driver on track. So bring a friend and halve the costs!

Goodwood Festival of Speed

The theme for the 2017 Festival of Speed was 'Peaks of Performance - Motorsport's Game-Changers'. Each year we find a new way of exploring the thrilling past, present and future of the automotive world. In 2017, we celebrated racing machines that were so fast, powerful, expensive or complicated that the rules had to be changed to rein them in.
