Mikee successfully passed his ARDS test on Wednesday and had his first test session with the car and team at Knockhill today:

Early morning sessions was the standard Scottish weather of heavy rain so was had to learn some sideways skills... Moving on to the afternoon sessions and a dry line started to form so was starting to get the grips of everything apart from when the drive shaft decided to make a brake from the car in the last session.

Still smiling! Delighted with hows thing's turned out today!

Good luck and enjoy yourself Mikee!
