It was a great event - I would go as far as saying the best motorsport / automotive event I’ve been to in terms of the sheer amount you get to see for the money you pay.

Agreed, doughnuts are all part of the fun of the event!

It really was epic to drive! Makes me wonder what it would be like to drive on the limit with fresh tyres on a track like the Silverstone GP circuit, or Spa!

Thanks Lee, you are right - there’s so much that goes into a single race weekend, let alone a whole season! Congrats on completing your Academy year, hope you enjoyed the journey! Thanks so much for your feedback, appreciate it!

Thank you! I had the same questions as you when I arrived at the test 😊 It was confirmed that the car was in full GT Pro spec. If you watch a few other GT Academy onboard laps at Blyton Park they are typically a few seconds per lap slower. Regarding the sun screens, they didn’t have any ‘GT Pro’ sun screens at the time, so the ‘GT Academy’ one stayed on the car in the name of practicality and safety. Hope that helps 😊👍

Thanks @Hectorides it was an awesome car to drive. I’m always preparing to race in some way, shape or form, so we’ll see what we can make happen!

We’ll see, Laura! 😉

Thank you! 5795rpm still counts as being under right? 🤭😂

Hello, thanks for your message. I wouldn’t say that I have lots and lots of money but in the years after I finished university I worked very hard with good jobs and had a clear goal to race cars one day. I decided that 2022 was going to be the year I started. In all honesty, separate to the car, with everything like fuel, tyres, racewear, travel, food, trackdays, testing, a little bit of tuition, crash damage and mechanical repairs, the season cost me a low five-figure sum. Other people spent a lot more than me. So in reality, racing cars for real really opened my eyes to how expensive it can be. So if you want to race cars on an amateur basis in a club championship, you don’t need to be a millionaire. But you do need to have a plan and accept that you most likely will not see a direct financial return on the money you spend. But the price of not following your dream may be higher! So if racing cars one day is something you REALLY want to do, make a plan to make it happen. Work out exactly how much money you’ll need for the championship you want to race in, work hard and save, because when you start you won’t get sponsors without a track record. In the meantime, you can have so much fun racing without having to spend tens of thousands. Karting and sim racing are just as much fun and offer amazing (if not better) racing for a fraction of the cost! Before racing cars this year I used to think that spending £4,000 on a sim rig was expensive. Compared to real racing it’s a bargain! And you don’t need to spend thousands on a sim rig either, when you start get yourself a decent PC and a good wheel and seat for a few hundred pounds and you’ll be fine. So I’d say start racing cheaply first and if racing cars is something you still want to do, make a plan and in a few years you can make it happen!

@@theinnerracer thnx mate I'm currently doing karting at teamsport and hopefully I'll be good enough to compete in Bikc this year

@@A_Carter You’re welcome, good luck with it all! I genuinely believe the best racing is in karting, you learn so much about racecraft and it’s so much fun 👍

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed watching! :)

Hi Mike, thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Have a great day 👍

@@theinnerracer I did 270 last year but have now switched to saloons. Hope 2023 goes well for you

@@mikehilton1888 your new journey into saloons sounds exciting! I hope that it goes well for you too

Thanks @DavidOsborn, glad you liked it!

Thanks @MrNL316! I’m glad that you enjoyed the video 👊🏽

Thank you 😊

Hi Simon, good to hear from you and thanks for the feedback!

Thanks mate, good to hear from you! You’re right, I did feel more in the groove during the second race; this championship is so close - there was only 4 tenths between 10th and 20th in quali. For sure, it would be great to see you at one of the races, hopefully see you soon!

Thanks for your feedback @PTR101! I’ll definitely take it into account for the next video(s), they’re coming very soon :)

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it!
