As Matthew has taken it upon himself to describe his season I thought I'd do the same - particularly as he seems to think he's going to give me a good hiding. We shall see.

Like Matthew, I'm entering my third season in Class 1 of the Lotus Seven Club Speed Championship. Last year I came fifth, just one position below Matthew, and I'm quite keen to show him that there's life in the old dog yet.

My car is a 2003 ex-Academy Rover K series. It's been prepped by McMillan Motorsport over the winter and I'm impatiently waiting to try it out for the first time this year at Goodwood on 25th April. Class 1 has a very healthy entry again this year and I look forward to another season of competition, camaraderie and banter.
