In the three years I have been racing, Castle Combe has always been a firm favourite of mine. Although it is warmly referred to as ‘Castle Doom’ to many drivers, I have always produced good racing results. On our side was the fact that the ‘Open Cars’ weren’t out with us for this round. The track is very bumpy and uneven, so thankfully we only had the ‘Club Cars’ to contend with.

With Brands Hatch as our next port of call we were all wondering, ‘what could possibly go wrong this time!’

With both feet on the mend and the car in great condition, these thoughts from three weeks ago have been well and truly put behind us, so we’re hoping for an end to ‘Brands-bad-luck’ and a 1st place race win.

So here we are back after 6 weeks (through injured left foot and car problems) looking very much forward to the Silverstone classic event. We have worked long hours to get the car back to race condition and proud to have achieved that ready for such an historic meeting.

But alas, on Friday morning before qualifying while at work, the suspension on a Freelander gave way and trapped my right foot managing to break my big toe in two places. De ja vu or what!

Qualifying

After a fair few man (singular) hours, we have now updated all of the race meetings pages with details on the circuits and track images detailing the circuit setup. Hopefully, in the next few days we will be out of development stage and will be updating the site with backdated blogs, images and videos.

Second race weekend of the season, Oulton Park, a circuit I enjoy, hoping to put a good result forward in the Championship. Again, not the best of weather, bitterly cold but with a dry track all looks well. All the other competitors in my class had the upper hand having had the chance to test here on Friday, ‘’Oh well some of us have to work!’’

Qualification

So here we are again the start of a new season, it doesn’t seem like we had 6 months off. After such a successful season last year (finishing 2nd in class) we start this season with only one place in mind, 1st in class!!!

Our first port of call is Donington Park, which is one of our home circuits. The weather is not so good with the recent downfall of snow but it clears in time for the race meeting. It’s bitterly cold but despite this, all the team support are with us.

It's taken 3 days, 6 hours, 15 minutes and 41 seconds but we have finally completed the race meetings image galleries! We have uploaded a select few (or more like a select few thousand!) photos from all the events we have attended up and down the country.

They can now be viewed either via the image gallery in the tab on the right hand side or through each individual race meeting page.

Phew... our upload connection is now going for a well earned holiday!

After a lot of sorting, renaming and deleting, the photo diary of the car build has been completed and uploaded to the image gallery.

Welcome to our brand new website for DPR Racing. We will have all of our future races listed through our calendar in the coming weeks along with online photo galleries and video diaries of past events all uploaded very soon.

In the meantime, if there is anything that you would like added to the site please feel free to email me with any suggestions.
