Fast Cars, Fast Life!

Whilst on our trip to Northampton, we (Dad!) decided we should have a drink in the bar at The Holiday Inn Express – it had been a long day, blah, blah, blah! By chance, a lovely couple walked in and joined us called Leyton and Shelley. Unbeknown to us, Leyton (Clarke) is a famous GT driver, and is a Double British Champion in Touring Cars. Now, as everyone knows I have been to the Formula 1 at Silverstone, and walked part of the track, but never have I been taken round a circuit in a fast car. Well, thats about to change! Leyton has very kindly invited me to one of his track days and Brands Hatch, where the F1 British Grand Prix was sometimes held until 1986. I am so grateful for this experience, and can’t wait for the trip in September.

    1. Funny you should say that, as thats precisely what Dad reminded himself to always do when taking you for driving lessons!! Ha Ha!! xxx

  1. Hi Tom – I have just read that you will be taken round the circuit at Brands Hatch, you must be so excited! What luck that you got to meet Leyton and Shelley, although I am sure they felt lucky getting to meet you too! Please do tell us all about your experience in September, I can’t wait to hear all about it.

    1. I have never been to Brands Hatch, so really looking forward to my day out. Will post another blog when I have been. Thank you for reading and commenting.
