In a Holy Thread resurection batman moment.... I'm off racing again... this time in the Morgan Challenge.
....... and...... this time.. instead of just taking a load of photo's and writing it up. I've set up a new racing team Aspect Racing... with our very own YouTube channel to follow our preparation and racing across the 2026 season.
We will be launching soon with an episode based series of shows with a new release every two weeks. Given what we'll be upto I've called the channel "From Garage to Grid".
I'll see you out on the track at some time in the season and we can catch up, the Aeroclub trips seem like a lifetime ago.
The first couple of races are interesting and depending on what class you're in the speed differential can be disconcerting. I remember my first race at Snetterton looking at the speedo thinking I'd stopped when Keith Ahlers went by.

Now, what class are you planning on entering?
Great to hear from you!!! indeed... will be good to catch-up. I've been missing the Morgan crowd for all the years I've been off... life's been busy (I'm sure all round).. so it will be nice to get back into things.
I'm aiming to be out in Class 5 - the 220bhp/1000kg class. My blue and white racer would be Class 2 and that seemed a little "optimistic" for an inaugural year. I'm also going to be skipping the first two races as I won't be ready by March (my ARDS isn't until later that month)... and as a novice I don't think I can do SPA... we have a Shakedown Day booked at Silverstone instead. So my first race out will be the late June race.
Anyhow... all this will be covered in the show... I hope you all like it.. I figured it would be a nicer way to get things done and give a bit more insight into what goes on behind the scenes.
Have subscribed - good to see you back. Regards to your folks!
have also subscribed, thanks for info. Nice you are back here!
Hey thanks!!.... life's been a bit nuts... so no time for the Morgan's... but I managed to keep them... always with the objective of getting back out on the black stuff.
Appreciate you subscribing... I'm actually interested in what you all would like to see too... I can't say I'm an expert at all this film production but I have some good advisors who have set me up well... I'm just getting used to the editing and how to film stuff so it's interesting.
I'm trying to keep the main episodes to 10-15mins max.... with fireside chat style sessions to 5 mins. Sort of a couple of questions on a theme... sort of thing.
What car do you have? Is it the grey one RTCC had for sale?
No it's one I built nearly 10 years ago for sprinting, I've used it sparingly since.... I use it occasionally on the road. It's tamer than the Blue and White car... which is very aggressive and tbh completely overwhelms road driving context.
You'll see it's getting a bit of a makeover to meet all the Challenge regs and circuit racing context. Hopefully I'll be able to do it justice.
I have some goodies for the Blue and White car too... probably something I will look at for next year I have plenty of work on my hands to get this car sorted and all the team/support kit re-mobilised.
The launch of the new channel has gone so well... thank you everyone for taking a look and sharing with your friends.
I've put together a few bitesize episodes... and looking at the footage I already have we are likely to move to weekly episodes to get through them all.
Episode 1 will be out later this week and will get stuck into the car itself.
