Welcome to THE SPEED BLOG. The aim of the blog will be to bring you a combination of news, views, commentary, trivia along with a little bit of history from the various worlds of motorsports.
From NASCAR to F1, Champ Car to Indy Car, Drag Racing to Rally I’ll have something to say.
I’ve been a motorsports fan since the mid sixties and a serious racing nut since 1976, when I attended my first car race at Oulton Park in Cheshire, England. (My dad’s company were sponsoring a car at the event). Since then I’ve been fortunate enough to attend all types of racing at all types of circuits across Europe and the USA; from Le Mans to Indianpolis, from Brands Hatch to Thunder Hill.
My first foray onto the web about 10 years ago was a website that went under the highly unoriginal name of Wheel Spin, since then have dabbled a bit in motorsports writing and was lucky enough to be part of the team that worked on F1 and Indycar Champion Nigel Mansell’s “autobiography.”
I’m looking forward to sharing my thoughts and views with any fellow gear heads that find their way here.
Hey Alan!
Great to see the new blog up and running. Looking forward to seeing it grow
Hey there, I think it’s an excellent idea!
And looking good so far, a shame it’s not more popular, but that’s probably just because it’s still a young site.
Have you been to other Formula 1 blogs? Like Renault F1 Team blog (which is immensely popular) and FerrariWorld blog? I just thought that it might be a nice idea to have some sort of link from/to them.
