I’m chuffed to have been invited by Join The World Magazine to be one of their journalists, responsible for reporting on Motoring and Food. This is my first assignment, the 77th Members Meeting at Goodwood. I hope you enjoy it. 🐻
I’m helping the mechanics before the first test session of the Rover SD1, driven by James Wood.James Wood and I, in his Rover SD1, in the pits, during practice for the 77th Members Meeting, at Goodwood Motor Circuit. This is James in action, on the track, after I gave him a few tips. He’s going down the pit straight after the chicane. Here I am trying out a Tecno Formula 3. I really like this car, but I could do with a cushion.The gorgeous little Cosworth screamer, fitted to the Tecno. I really like this car! A kind gentleman lent me his Lotus 23, but I found it a bit big, so I guess it’s back to the Tecno.I’m on the pit counter, working out the timing until lunch. Behind me is the Lotus 23, which I tried earlier.Feeling wheelie tired, so I sat down for a rest in the paddock, at lunchtime.

Barry or Jimmy Sime would normally be in this seat: they let me try it out for size.I’m sitting on the roof of the Sime Racing Mini, though I’d try Barry’s helmet, unfortunately it was too big.The magnificent Sime Racing Mini Cooper S, in the paddock, during practice for the 77th Members Meeting.
