How My Interest In Motorsport Came About
My Introduction To Motorsport
One of the questions I get constantly asked is "How did you start watching Motorsport?" which I find pretty cool and always happy to explain to non Motorsport fans as I always find it cool to explain to people what types of Motorsport there is and always great to get new fans involved.
My interest started way back in 1997 after visiting my local stock car racing track called Cowdenbeath Raceway which is my local track along with Knockhill race track. I Remember going along with my Uncle James to see what it was like and I was hooked straight away and this is when my addiction kicked in and have been hooked ever since.
Stock cars was the first form of Motorsport racing I started watching and attended Cowdenbeath Raceway when I could and started supported someone called Chris Burgoyne who I met through my Uncle and got to know him and and his family who I found to be a bunch of awesome people to talk to and even had the chance to over to the garage where the cars were worked on from time to time.
Other stock car tracks I have visited in the past are: Taunton Stadium, Barford Raceway, Coventry Stadium, Crimond Raceway, Mildenhall Stadium, Skegness Stadium and other various tracks.
So what other forms of Motorsport do I like to watch and have an interest in?
I like to watch a bit of circuit racing and got the chance to go to Knockhill back in 2003 to watch the British GT and British Formula 3 championship which was my introduction to circuit racing. I remember getting to go into the pits and was buzzing and to speak to some of the drivers was awesome and getting an autograph from them was brilliant and put a smile on my face and made me realize why I love watching Motorsport today as drivers and teams are willing to interact with fans which can only be a good thing.
I also like to watch the Blancpain Endurance Series, European Le Mans Series, British Touring Car Championship, World Endurance Championship and a big fan of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and I am a big Aston Martin Racing fan and have supported them for a long time.
