Decisions, decisions… which one should I drive?

It’s our annual Nurburgring/Spa trip, and I’m thinking about our tour day in between the Ring and Spa (after 2 days on the Nordschleife and before a day on Spa). Okay, I’ll take a stint in each one (and maybe more)!

I could use a little help. Currently, my Substack is ranked #22 in the sports category, based on the growing number of subscribers. As far as I can tell, it’s the only motorsport Substack in the top 100 (which I’m kinda pleased with), I’d love to see if we could get it in the top 10 amongst all the stick and ball sports.

As one reader said, "It’s been a little while since I read an article on braking that I thought moved the needle for me and this one did... After reading this one it hit me like a purse full of bricks. And then the thought process bullet summary gave me a framework to habitualize it straight away."

Let me know what you think.

Yesterday was an amazingly special day, as the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit and Porsche Centre Victoria hosted an event in support of the Island Kids Cancer Association. Porsche owners, unselfishly spent the majority of the day giving rides to kids (and their families), and donating to the cause. At the end of the day, the smiles on everyone's faces made it hugely successful, and of course, having raised $210,000 made it even better!

Thank you to all the participants, and the teams from the GAIN Group, Porsche Centre Victoria, and Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit for making this happen. I can't help stop smiling thinking about the smiles on the kids' faces as they came in off the track! Best wishes to all!

In the spirit of great explorers like Marco Polo, Ferdinand Magellan, and James Cook, I’ve been discovering new lands in the non-sailing ship I call Lotus Elan S4. On a recent expedition I found twisty and tree-lined roads, a line of geese in a lake, and ice cream!
