The Gobstopper as a car and Oli Clarke as a driver are not to be underestimated if you ask me.

Will be interesting to see though.

incredible car and driver

I would love to see Simon and his Evo do well too. Top bloke and an incredible car...


I imagine AG car is ALOT lighter (being built sorely as proper race car) and we know Andy can properly peddle it!

Anyway you look at it though.... its GOOD news

Yes mate. Only doing last 3 rounds though. The others are too far!

I'm no where near fast enough to be competitive to be honest (mainly due to the driver to be honest!)

But it will be great fun anyway.

Andy, I think your the only full season entry in Prototype/Open Wheel so you should have it wrapped up!

Not sure how its gonna work with their new one round wonder rules as only 2 cars from single entries are allowed to make the final. So looks like only 3 cars in that class to the final. Not sure I will bother if they use them rules in this class.

Yeah there is Chip. I bet one of our cars break and I have to fix it!!!

Actually, to be honest there is no competition. Lee is a way better driver than me. but Red cars are always faster.

Although AndrewG may be in a seperate class he will be on-track at the same time competing with the top boys so irrespective of the classing structure he/we will at least get the chance to see the top boys going head to head.

Personally I can't bloody wait.
