This is my UK fix, has been for 30+ years!

When I move to Calis am I going to be entertained anywhere within 200 miles or so with this kind of motor sport or will it be the good old internet & a sniff of my Castrol R aftershave for my fix?

I started my racing career there in 197? Dave Longhurst, John Button & I in A40's, blimey that takes me back! I then moved onto Bangers at both Worthing & Warnham under Roy Fays guidance before he moved to Smallfield.

Now I'm an active spectator & photographer for a few websites, just got back from my annual Skeggy pilgrimage, Brisca F1's, F2's & 2 ltr saloons, heaven on a racetrack!

PS: LOL @ Scunners comment, can well believe that too!
