Kevin Goes to the British Grand Prix

Unfortunately Button didn't do as well as predicted but a good weekend was had at the British GP!

My Father is the Crew Chief of the BARC (British Automobile Racing Club) Race Rescue Unit and was at the British GP for the 11th time over the weekend with his crew.

He managed to get 2 spare weekend passes for myself and my brother, bot of us hadn't been to a GP since we were very young.

From Thursday to Sunday we spend the long weekend geeking out over the various amazing cars and drivers we met, old and new including Nelson Piquet (above).

My Father has also been selected in the crew to do the 1st Abu Dhabi GP in October this year, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some spare tickets will come my way!

Dragon Boat Racing


Congratulations go to the Women in Property team who took part in this week’s Dragon Boat racing event at Salford Quays. The Event saw 36 teams from the construction industry battle it out for dragon boat supremacy, all in aid of a good cause. Funds raised by the event will go to CRASH, the construction industry charity in aid of homeless people. The team improved their speed with every race and were crowned overall Mixed Crew champions. An excellent achievement!
