All the people I'll never be,all the things I'll never do,all the dreams I'll always dream,though they have no reason to come true. I'm not sure why these lines are stuck in my head. I know the verse isn't particularly good, but I suppose it's the closest that I can come to describing why it is that I am completely and utterly overwhelmed. I've always believed in dreaming, in wishing for things, and in pursuing those dreams and wishes relentlessly. But this? This is more than I ever could have imagined. Things like this don't happen in real life. Things like this aren't meant to happen in real life. Maybe this is why I've been reduced to a blubbering fool, with a steady stream of tears pouring down both cheeks. And at this point I have just one wish - I wish to not open my helmet. I don't want an entire pit garage full of people to see me crying. *** "Magazines," the tall, affable-looking chap standing before me snorts. It's a bright morning at the Winfield Racing facility at the Paul … [Read more...] about F1nal Fantasy: Driving a Lotus-Renault E20 Formula 1 car at Paul Ricard

Classic TT 2018: historic racing event returns to Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling
With practice already underway, the 2018 Classic TT is set to excite and fascinate race fans once again. Run alongside the Manx Grand Prix it is now the main attraction of the Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling. The Classic TT was introduced in 2013 and has steadily grown year on year and is now without doubt the main attraction of the festival. The Classic TT is already a firm favourite of classic race fans, and is viewed by many if not all as the most important classic races on the calendar – no mean feat when the competition includes longer established events such as the Spa Francorchamps Bikers Classic event. With a week of practice and two days' racing, plus plenty of off track events, the festival is fast becoming a must go to event. Unfortunately, and unfairly, classic racing is seen by too many as something for men of a certain age who wear flat caps and wax lyrical about when they were a lad. Nothing could be further from the truth, especially when it comes … [Read more...] about Classic TT 2018: historic racing event returns to Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling

Entry List Confirmed For Classic TT RST Superbike Race
ISLE OF MAN – The traditional conclusion to the Classic TT Races presented by Bennetts has seen generation defying feats as outright lap and race records are invariably shattered. This year’s RST Superbike Classic TT Race looks set to continue the tradition. The TT Mountain Course will play host on the August bank holiday Monday to some of the greatest riders in the TT’s long history as they belie the perception of Classic Racing and rewrite history over the course of four laps. Leading the entry list is last year’s race winner Dean Harrison, who lines up at number two on the Silicone Engineering Kawasaki. Having lapped at more than 127 mph 12 months ago, not to mention his performances during this year’s TT, all eyes will be on the Bradford rider. Horst Saiger, who was forced to miss this year’s TT due to injury, has the honor of setting off at number one this year. The Swiss rider is on board the Greenall Racing Kawasaki again and will be … [Read more...] about Entry List Confirmed For Classic TT RST Superbike Race
