I don't know whether it's considered appropriate to post here but I just wanted to add my condolences to the Jones family following Craig's death this morning, as a result of his horrific accident at Brands Hatch yesterday. He was such a promising WSB prospect but we have lost yet another bright, shining talent. Rest in peace, Craig.

Hello all, Just was interested in advise really, Im 31, been driving for 14 years, and have decided its about time I got my arse into gear and get my CBT out the way then maybe full bike license in a 6months. I love the open air, and im thinking Biking could possibly pull me away abit from my passion in cars.
