A Racing Driver’s Guide To Watching The World Cup!!

As someone who’s watched approximately four football matches in his entire life, I’ve spent tonight translating football into motorsport terms…

⚽ Goal = Overtake

⚽ Yellow Card = Track Limits Warning

⚽ Red Card = The Clerk Would Like A Word

⚽ Penalty = Caused A Collision

⚽ Manager = Team Principal

⚽ Referee = Steward Nobody Agrees With

⚽ Injury Time = One More Lap

⚽ VAR = 45 Minutes In The Scrutineering Bay Arguing About The Rules

⚽ Midfield Battle = Following Someone For 12 Laps Waiting For Them To Make A Mistake

⚽ Playing It Out From The Back = Leaving The Pits On Cold Tyres

⚽ Parking The Bus = Defending With A Bent Steering Arm

⚽ Clean Sheet = No Contact All Weekend

⚽ Diving = It Only Touched The Kerb A Bit

⚽ World Cup Final = Civic Cup Race 3 At 4:58pm On Sunday

Still not entirely sure what’s going on, but England seem to be doing alright and no one has had to get the tracking gear out!

🏁 RACE WEEK 🏁

After a frustrating weekend at Thruxton, we’re heading to Pembrey this weekend ready to get our 2026 Milltek Civic Cup campaign properly underway.

The Civic is repaired, tested and race-prepared. Adam is ready. The team is ready.

See you in Wales. 🇬🇧🏁💚

Tonight’s lesson in Amazon shopping - read the listing properly!

Ordered CV joint grease and pictured a nice big tub arriving…

What turned up looks more like something you’d put on your lips in winter. 😂

On the plus side, if the driveshaft gets chapped, we’re sorted!

Good day of preparation on the race car

16/05/2026

Morning from a sunny Thruxton Circuit where, for the moment at least, all is calm… but it probably won’t stay that way for long.

By late morning there’ll be 30 fully prepared race cars, a grid full of adrenaline-fuelled drivers, nervous engineers, hot brakes, tyre smoke and absolute commitment heading into the fastest circuit in the UK.

This weekend is extra special for us because it’s Adam’s first time racing at Thruxton. To make things even more interesting, the car has a brand new engine for the weekend too.

So while the team are quietly nervous, the driver is absolutely buzzing and ready to send it.

Let’s see what the weekend brings!!

Racing at 120mph next weekend: absolutely fine.

Teaching Adam to Tow a trailer round a mini roundabout at 14mph: apparently the true test of a racing driver and my nerves!
