November 22nd: End of season prize-giving and Dinner-Dance for the MR2Racing and Red Dragon Race and Track Club 2008 competitors. At the awards ceremony, Alex received the prize for coming 3rd overall in the 2008 MR2Racing.com Mk1 MR2 series, despite not even starting two races. He also won the “Best Newcomer 2008” award, along with collecting the “ Best Team” prize for the first race at Brands Hatch a couple of weekends ago, which he won with Jason Jesse.

Saturday 8th November: Final rounds of the MR2Racing.com series saw the drivers travel to a soaking wet Brands Hatch. Alex struggled a bit in qualifying to acquaint himself with finding the grip quickly enough as the session was reduced in time due to a red flag. However, Alex found some excellent pace in both races and had some good battles throughout. Read the full race report for more information

Sunday 19th October: Race day at Snetterton. We had some engine problems in qualifying and the first race due to the car losing a lot of water and over-heating a bit, resulting in a drop-off in performance at the end of the first race. For the second race we got the problem sorted, and Alex had one of his most enjoyable races to date. Read the full race report for more information.

Saturday 11th October: Track / test day at Bedford Autodrome circuit. The new engine in the MR2 seems really good and healthy (touch wood), it revs high and freely in each and every gear, so that’s pleasing. The track day itself was very good, it was the full GT Circuit which was fantastic. The MR2 put to shame many more exotic cars - M3s, RS4s, Integras etc on the twisty bits, but got left behind by everything on the straights! Also had tuition from Sam Maher-Loughnan which was very useful. Hopefully for Snetterton on the 19th we will be in with a chance if this engine keeps going as it is now. See the video here.

Sunday 21st September: Another new engine has been put in the MR2. It has done less miles than the original one had done and was taken out of a previous race car that showed good pace on the straights. It has been given a good shakedown and all seems OK so, but the test day at Bedford should prove for definite.

Sunday 7th September: Cadwell Park race meeting, and our high hopes for this event weren’t matched. Unfortunately the new engine turned out to be very unhealthy and it packed up completely a few laps into qualifying. The new gearbox, however, was perfect. Read the full event report for more information.

Sunday 30th August: New engine and gearbox in the MR2! The engine has only done 40k miles so we have high hopes for Cadwell. Maybe this will be the end of our straight-line speed problems...?

Monday 25th August: The 2nd MR2 race meeting at Mallory Park, but car problems result in a disappointing event. See the race report for more information.
