First thing this morning, I removed SMRC and associated parties as admins off the Scottish Formula Ford page, and dropped the announcement of the Scottish Renegade Cup - a three event championship taking in the Gold Cup at Oulton Park, an SLS sprint event at Knockhill, and the David Leslie Trophy (normally highlight of the Scottish FF season).

It took all of about 3 minutes until my messenger started pinging

I can speak a bit more freely on here, but I'm really hoping this is the start of a bright new future, with no petty politics, no self-interested folks lining their own pockets, no expensed lunches, no overpriced black tie dinners, and no fucking blazers. It better go right, because ultimately I'm underwriting the cost of the track hire, and it could get very expensive if no fucker shows up

how are you goign to get a grid?

We have 28 cars out in modsports (old sports and saloons)

smrc wont see out the year..

On the 17-18 October, you mean? Stuart Grey has put space in the programme aside for us. Testing on the Saturday will be a bit of a squeeze, but he's going to add an extra hour to fit us in. Don't want to jinx it, but I'm hoping for 15+ cars (I have 7-9 committed from the Scottish guys, 3-4 showing from interest from BRSCC and HSCC is going to push it as one of their own events, so maybe 5-10).

If you meant the SLS event, they're just adding an hour to the programme for 3 x 15 mins for Warm up/Practice/quali plus a bit for the finals.

My performance as a driver was less impressive - just couldn't get my head into it, and struggled for pace all weekend (2 5th places).
But, as an overall outcome, I'm very happy - I'd far rather lose the first race of a triumphant return, than win the final hurrah!

The richest man in F1 is not one of the drivers, Neil - how do you fancy running motor racing?
