This is the journal of a racing driver; which is a bit of a surprise to me as until recently I thought that being a racing driver was something that other people did.

However, in late 2009 an opportunity to race came along and I was lucky enough to be able to grab it.

This journal covers my 2010 "rookie" season in the Volkswagen Racing Cup and, after a move to a new team, the 2011 follow up.

I would not be racing without help from Fuchs Lubricants (UK) plc, Racing Line and the Volkswagen Direct Shift Gearbox, for which I thank them.
