BRSCC 2017 Championship Awards

Last night was the 2017 BRSCC Championship Awards Dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised to see my car on the front cover of the event programme.

As the BRSCC covers many different championships, there was a lot of awards to give away!  About half way through the evening, it was my turn and Peter Daly the chairman of the BRSCC presented me with my plaque.
The Commemorative plaque I received for becoming the 2017 Caterham Academy (green group) champion.

Right, that's enough reminiscing about the past, and time to crack on with plenty of winter testing....

41st Birthday Today - Bespoke Caterham Cake

Unfortunately! It's my 41st Birthday today... Fortunately, one of the guys at my work knows someone who makes bespoke cakes (Karen James), and all the guys at work chipped in and got her to make me this amazing Caterham Birthday Cake as a surprise! 

I'm blown away with the detail and accuracy she achieved with just a few pictures, and clearly a lot of talent!  She can make pretty much anything you like, and if you want your own bespoke Caterham cake or something else you can contact her on her mobile 07884 380495 or by emailing her at karenjames822@gmail.com for a quote.

I'm not too sure what to do with it, as there's no way I could damage such a masterpiece by cutting it!  I think it'll have to live in my garage ☺

2018 Roadsport Entry
As added birthday bonus, it turns out that our driver profiles have been updated today on the Caterham website to confirm our status as '2018 roadsport drivers' with all of the participants of this years season.  link here:- http://uk.caterhamcars.com/motorsport/roadsport/drivers

This also means that there are now 56 new names on the Caterham Academy drivers profiles, all of which will be battling out for the title of 2018 Caterham Academy Champion (green and white group).  Having been through the amazing experience, I wish all of this years competitors the best of luck and will look forward to meeting the new faces and personalities in the paddock this year.

2018 Roadsport Driver Number 77
Also confirmed is my new driver number of 77 - as I've swapped from 30 (from my Academy season) to 77.  Why?  Well I was born in 1977 (hence being 41 today!), and also for Caterham Seven (but 7 isn't allowed, so the next best was 77), and Seven is considered a lucky number, so I hope to have double helpings of luck this year ☺
