2nd F1 Bloggers and Friends Karting Competition

Anyone for karting?

Alianora from La Canta Magnifica Blog is arranging the 2nd F1 Bloggers and Friends Karting Competition, to be held on Saturday 16th January 2010 in Birmingham, and I am going to be there.

This is just around the corner from the NEC where the Autosport International show is being held and the karting is planned to start as the show closes so that we can enjoy as much of the show as possible.

Here are the details:

Event: 2nd F1 Bloggers and Friends Karting Competition
Date: 16 January 2010 at 6pm (arrive by 5.45pm)
Location: Birmingham - that's England, not Alabama
Booking deadline: 30 November 2009
Booking and contact details here
Cost: £50

I've not driven a kart for about five years so I'm really looking forward to this! There are several confirmed attendees already so we should get some good racing, and if we don't we'll at least have a good time trying.

If you can make it, contact Alianora to find out if places are still available.

I'm almost certainly going to the Autosport show on the same day so if I don't see you at the karting, perhaps I'll see you there?

Why We Are Here

I'm a bit late catching up with my RSS reader, as I am with so many things. Nevertheless, I would like to associate myself with remarks made by Joe Saward recently. If you are disillusioned with the endless politicking in F1 and other motorsports be sure to give it a read - and also the comments, because the second comment is from motorsport historian Gerald Donaldson and there is also a comment from F1 PR man Nav Sidhu.
It is nice know that in a world where we can all write what we will, there is still a place for the professional writer to help us express ourselves more clearly.

Back in the world of the bloggers, I also echo Alia's response to that post:

I don't wish to ride on their coat-tails, merely to pass on some good writing which deserves an audience. See you for Singapore.
