It's been 3 years since we went out to Spa with the new Boxster to compete with 750MC - Club Enduro Championship
We only made 4th and 6th that weekend learning a lot about the car in our first time out but 2nd in Class for the season was a nice return πππ

There were some incredible cars on show at @fosgoodwood but if you could pick one of these which is it?

On Friday we visited @lincolncollegeuk at their Main Site on Monks Road.
We were given a tour of the facilities and got to see some of their hosted Auto Inform event.
We visit many learning institutions to talk to students about STEM, 21st Century Learning Skills, Motorsport and many other things.
We found out a lot about their automotive and air and defence courses and how project based learning and cross college integration can link in to provide experiences to ready students for their next steps in life.
Lincoln has a really positive feel, from reception to the Heads of Learning, to the governors, you feel there is a purpose and desire to want to support people getting on. There is a genuine passion that opportunity and development matters and should be enhanced in every way. We left really enthused and motivated.
Courses are available for further and higher education, additionally, the college supports the community, welcoming in local schools and making facilities available outside of standard hours to support training and learning for those not enrolled with the college.
If you are in the area look them up, if you aren't keep an eye on our socials for more in the future ππππ

Never fear Yes.
Have a go, fail, learn, succeed, experience.
We have faced many challenges over the last 5 years
Saying Yes and figuring it out got us through so much of it and created some incredible experiences.

We had a great weekend at @cadwellpark_msv this weekend with the Novas.
Here is a brief video of some of the action from the 80s race as Jason makes a brave move at Turn 1 to pass Gavin

Our friends at @rs_components are responsible for Imagine X. We recently partnered with them for the Driven To Inspire project and many other things. Check out the game and learning resources here..
https://uk.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=stem/driven-to-inspire
STEM skills act as the perfect platform to a more socially mobile and globally impactful life. They broaden horizons, empower the disadvantaged and diversify life choices. But many young people have yet to see the 'bigger picture' impact these skills could have on the world.
That’s why RS has developed Imagine-X. It links dynamic, exciting STEM subjects to real people who have used the same skills to make the world a better place. It gives teachers free curriculum-aligned resources for pupils aged 7 – 14, with one aim: helping pupils realise the far-reaching potential of STEM and their imaginations.

It wasn't all plain sailing yesterday.
What do you think has happened here?

Winning is important but more important is the definition of winning.
If you are doing better than you did before, or you are progressing or are happy where you are you are winning. You don't just have to come 1st in a race
We love racing and its testament to a lot of hard work and commitment that we perform as well as we doπππππ

WINNERS ππ
@esther_quaintmere made a rocket start to this afternoons TEGIWA IMPORTS Roadsports race doing a great job holding 2nd in class until late in her stint. @racerhammond took over and took the lead with 4 laps to go bringing the car home to win class.
Its Esther's First race win and a 2nd team win in as many weeks. ππππππ₯

What a weekend at @doningtonpark
There were highs and lows but what an experience.
Ben won on his debut weekend! Jason got his first podium, Martin was excellent, Pete was mega consistent and Ian Gribben was brave coming back from a roll to take points.
Some weekends don't go your way and for much of this weekend we had some setbacks. To come through as we did showed some real resilience and teamwork with some individual brilliance thrown in.
Another great learning weekend at the track.

It was a heavy race 1 for Ian Gribben..
Great work by the team to get him back out for today's races at @doningtonpark

Some of us went to University and some of us didn't.
Uni can be a brilliant place to learn, research and develop but it's fair to say academia isn't for all.
Learning on the job can be just as important and experience comes in many forms.
If Uni is your path work towards it, if it isn't there are many other routes to a career in STEM fields.

We got where we are by working together.
Everyone brings something to this team and we are proud of all we have achieved.
Individual skills and collective effort make anything possible. Help each other and see where it takes you πππ From drivers, to support crew to partners, to friends and family, we all put in and we all get out.

What a start to the weekend π€©π€©π€©
All 5 drivers have qualified but this morning we highlight Jason Wood and Martin Rodgers efforts.
Both took their best ever qualifying, Jason starts 2nd in Race 1 and Martin 5th from the 25 entrants.
Here are the heartbeats that got them there πβ€πππ

For some, the home of British Motorsport.
We always love a visit here and this weekends Action sees 5 of our drivers take on the classic stock hatch championship with @750motorclub
Good luck to everyone competing. Drive fast and stay safe. We can't have guests at the circuit just yet but you'll be back very soon β€π

THE SEASON HAS STARTED.
Our season started in unfamiliar fashion with 3 Novas racing in @historicsportscarclub new 80s Production Championship at @snettertonofficial . The team really enjoyed the weekend and will return to support this growing championship.
@jason_pdc_racing took pole, fastest lap and the win at the 2020 trial race at @cadwellpark_msv and was back to try to repeat the feat and start the season on a high.
@gavin009 made his debut in a team Nova and Pete Osgerby swopped @750motorclub CSH for some Historic Action.
Wood was the fastest of the PDC cars in qualifying 2nd place near matching his best lap from previous Snetterton experiences, Pete Osgerby flew out of the traps leaving Gavin Johnson behind and wound up 4th, Johnson eventually taking 3rd on the grid after getting used to the car throughout the session.
The race followed a similar pattern. Wood was ballistic from the lights and took the lead for half of the race from known 750 competitor Chris Dear. Dear eventually coming through to win by a large margin. Johnson couldn't live with Wood but took 3rd place overall with Osgerby 5th after a race long battle with Tom Owens turbocharged Audi 100 that would have made him our driver of the day (more so after Johnson closed the door at turn 1π³)! The double podium was a nice way to round out the weekend πππ
Special mention to Chris Dear though...over 2 seconds faster than he's ever gone around Snetterton and lap times well under the 750MC record. He will be a threat in CSH this year :)
We are back out next week at @silverstone with 750 Motor Club ππππππ
Thanks to HSCC and FlyingTigers Photography Peter French for the images with some additions from the team and more to come.
Thanks to @rs_components @pin_gin SR Electrical Wholesalers Ltd and all of the team for the support ππ€©

Q is for question.
We used to worry. Should we know this? Is it obvious? Why don't we know?
It costs nothing to ask and good people will welcome the opportunity to pass information on. Questions are a great way to learn.
Don't be scared to challenge things too. It helps everyone π
