2019 Traction Tyres/Yokohama Drivers' Championship | Round 3
05 May 2019

BMWDCM put on another great Sandown event in conjunction with AROCA.

Unfortunately there was a major Alfa crash and two other less serious that kept Graeme busy writing up CAMS reports. Always a good reminder to drive wisely. Jo seemed to have less pressure as Event Secretary!

Personally I was really appreciative for the Bell Motorsport team getting the lovely green machine ready for me at short notice and Jess letting me drive it.

Since Bell Motorsport is building an E30 race car for me it was a invaluable experience to try one out for the first time and I was not disappointed. If you are sick of speed cameras and nanny state road rules I recommend giving it a go.

A highlight for me at the track events is the camaraderie among the BMWDCM members and the shared enjoyment of this sporting experience.

For me, Walter was best on ground wrangling the massive X5 four wheel drive around the track quicker than anyone in our group of track cars. Maybe Graeme should give his X5 a go!

Another standout were the very quick lap times by Blake, with a smooth driving style I admire.
