Well that's it, my first season of motor racing is over...

I'd planned to start things comparatively gently (As much as you can when the red mist descends!). The general aim was to try and not finish last, whilst learning the lines and technical aspects of each circuit, rather than just belting the car around in a bid to be as fast as possible.

I was totally chuffed at finishing the season placed 17th out of 29 drivers, despite not having attended the two Brands Hatch races. My performances improved throughout the season, as did the performance of the car itself. However, more work is required on both fronts for next year.

My thanks go to Richard and Darren for preparing the car over the winter in what can only be described as freezing conditions, and to David who sold us such a decent shell to start with. Thanks also to everyone involved in the MR2 Challenge for such a warm welcome and their friendly help and advice over the season.

I look forward to improving my position next year.

Karen.

    Congratulations to Karen on a great novice season. She managed to get some decent results and avoid any real damage to the car. She's also proven herself a decent driver by driving very well in the rain!

    Over the winter us Spanner-Monkeys are planning to improve the handling and power delivery of the car.

    Hopefully, things will be aided by financial help from our current and/or new sponsors.

    Rich.
