THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

One of my best mates is a 'weekend warrior', working as a tyre and garage technician at BTCC and British GT races. It's his story of his 2023 season.

Available early March from one good bookshop.

Charity Shop?


Sorry, left me with an open goal. Sounds like a good one, particularly as a BTCC fan - it's much more entertaining than that F1 crap! Which team was he working with?

NAPA in BTCC (specifically doing tyres for Dan Rowbottom), and Academy Motorsport's Ford Mustangs GT4s in British GT. It's come out really well, he's had a bit of a rollercoaster of a season even though both his teams won their championships!

Ouch!

But, as we both know, Dan is a talented writer. But for fuck’s sake don’t tell him. It’ll just bring out his arsehole tendencies.

It's OK. I am literarily adequate.

The first half yesterday was extraordinarily bad .......particularly the passing from the back

Better in the second though

Turn Stadium MK WHITE In The Playoffs

It’s been particularly good under MW and we’ve played some brilliant stuff. Last couple games not been up the previous standards, especially the 1st half. Think we’re going through a mini slump but still picking up results, so promising.

Don’t judge on just 2 games.

We do struggle when teams just sit off us. Twice MJW had the ball at centre half and just booted it out of play...weird. Payne was hardly involved - they put a man on him and just suffacted him in the first half - and he always quickens the pace whenever he gets on the ball.

Although strangely if we do get promoted and Pete can keep the team together, including the loan players, I believe we could challenge for League 1 promotion next season. We will need a couple of quality goalkeepers, defenders and attackers to get back to back promotion. However, the team are so close to gelling and fighting for automatic promotion, provided we have more 2nd half displays than 1st half ones.
