Rockingham is next on the list of venues, this weekend I'm really hoping for some good results to reward the team for all of the hard work they have been putting in! Also we will be broadcasting live on our KYTE channel all weekend so it would be a great weekend for the fans and sponsors to get some boosted exposure and access to true behind the scenes areas thanx to Orange bus.co.uk

As part of my ongoing endeavor to help charities, a friend and I have begun a charity canoe trip. While we havn't started paddling yet we have begun to make our own canoe, the trip will take place at the end of this year and we intend to navigate our home made canoe along the 98 mile stretch of canal from coast to coast through Scotland known as the Caledonian Canal.   

Well it's finally come, time to head for 'The Hill'. Knockhill is a fantastic circuit draped onto the side of a typically picturesque Scottish hill side, it offers challenges like no other circuits and requires many of the usual racing techniques in 'the book' to be thrown out of the window, and you really just have to grab the car by the scruff of the neck and drive it!

Well the first Bamboo weekend has come and gone and although the team is all new my luck apparently hasn't changed. Non the less we scored points in 2 of the 3 races which isn't too bad considering we got fired off in two races. The car is repairable and will be ready for some action at Knockhill next weekend!  

I'm about to set-off for the gym, then onwards to the Bamboo engineering HQ at Silverstone to help with final preparations in getting my car ready for the coming weekend at Snetterton. The shell only arrived back from paint on Friday night so as you can imagine there's alot of work to be done to get her ship shape for the weekend.

I'm really glad to make the move to Bamboo engineering, the team draws upon all of the best sides of 'Tempus Sports' personnel with an all new and much improved management structure that should help cement my future in motorsport.   

This weekend I'm embarking on a charity climb, the three peaks challenge is to climb the three tallest peaks in the UK in under 24 hours. Preparation my end has been spent securing charity funding but I still need to boost my fitness and buy some equipment before Friday!

As you can imagine the run up to any BTCC event is hectic for the drivers, (unless I do more than the rest) but heading for your home race is a real extra demand on your resources. Don't get me wrong it's fantastic to be racing at my home venue (and place of work) but there's definitely more involved than turning up to any other round.

I've always had an unhealthy obsession for taking on ridiculous projects, however last night over a few beverages a friend and I managed to talk ourselves into creating a wooden Reeva style boat powered by a jet ski engine and impella system! We have the plans and the jet ski but no where to build it and no wood as yet!

I'm really looking forward to Oulton, it's a fantastic circuit that's draped around a picturesque but undulating forest, the place oozes history and has a feeling of a bygone era in motor-sport, some may say from the days when men were men!
