[L8APEKS]

With the first race coming up this weekend here in Belgium, the preseason is pretty much over for the MINI Cooper Challenge teams. Last week was the final official practice day and it was also the race license test day for those of us who are rookies or don't have an FIA license.

You can check out my website for the most recent stories on the 3 teams that make up the DS Racers group (MINI Eagle Racing, Delmotte Racing and Power Plus Engineering). Thanks to xoura (Laurent) for some of the pictures and my friend David Perkins for the others.

In particular the last 2 articles cover 1) my first ever practice at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps (along with pictures of my lesson learned at the top of Radillon's tire wall!!!) and 2) the results of my race license exam in the torrential downpour at Circuit Zolder last week.

As they say here in Belgium, See you in Zolder!
