Race of Remembrance 2019 ended with a bang... Third time lucky! 2019's Race of Remembrance [RoR] ended with a literal bang. Before my first stint, the owner of the car lost it into Rocket and crashed heavily into the marshal post. Thankfully, he walked away with only a broken shoulder.

I loved that car way too much. IBM's not so great company car scheme, UK company car tax, and … Continue reading The BMW i3 experiment
