Autosport International 2012.

So, here's the thing.

The Autosport International Show 2012. What a day...

Let me start from the beginning.
I've always dreamt of going to the Autosport show, but every year I've had to miss it because of work. Gutted.
But this year, I had the chance to go on the Thursday - and I have to say it was one of the best days of my life.

Getting the opportunity to be up close and personal to all the last pieces of engineering blew my mind.
Formula One cars, touring cars, Ginettas, Porsches, Ferraris, Aston Martins - they had the lot.

I also managed to meet a few of the British Touring Car Championship drivers, who stopped to give me a few autographs and a chat. 

All in all, I had an amazing day -- with 200 odd photos to prove!

If you ever get the chance to go, do it.
You'll never regret it, I promise!

Team ES Racing has announced who will be joining team principle Chris James for the 2012 season of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.
      Dave Newsham, who made his debut to the series in 2011, will make his move following negotiations with the team to ES Racing for the season, which will start on the 8^th April at the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit in Kent. An announcement will follow regarding the team’s choice of car.
     Speaking about the announcement, Chris James said, “We are pleased to confirm Dave Newsham for the team along with two turbo race winning pedigree cars.” He went on to say, “We’ve been in talks with Dave for some time now and we’re glad we can finally announce he will be driving for us in 2012.”
     Dave Newsham said, “Chris is a passionate guy, I saw that from last year, racing with him and talking to him in the paddock.” He also stated, “Having a quick car is going to help, and if all things go well we should get some podiums and maybe sneak a win or two.”
     After a somewhat slow start to the year in 2011, Team ES Racing will be looking to make significant improvements during 2012.
