Ok before I start I think everyone should take a moment to watch this video and encourage the rest of Redstone Racing that we could enter the D1 drift championship next year!! Well what can I say about the weekend?! It all started with race one, you know when you’re on the green flag lap and it dawns on you how good the car feels? That’s exactly... [Read more...]

As you all know it’s been a tough year to date but I feel like I finally got to show what I’m capable of at Snetterton. I’ve decided to split the season up into two halves and make my own mini championship, the first half of the season didn’t exactly go to plan so the second half is my chance to start fresh again.
