Since the seat pre-dates introduction of the HANS device, check that the headrest isn't positioned such that it pushes your head forward. I think that the headrest of later seats was moved further back to allow space for the thickness of the HANS device between the back of the helmet and the seat.

Excellent! It had me hunting around on the Internet for quite a while.

Ha ha, nobody really! It was a fake company name Richard created 30 years ago, and I just thought it would be funny to add it on to the competition to make it look more official! But if there are businesses out there that want to genuinely sponsor it, or any other of our cups, please do get in touch!

Who is Stickmann Sport? Just wondering.

Hi Howard, do you want us to post this opportunity on the club's social channels? Won't post your phone number, can direct people to [email protected] and I can then pass your details on that way (so you avoid getting loads of spam calls!). Let me know if you want me to do that?

Yes, please, Matt.

I've spoken to this chap, Sam, and while he isn't in a position to race just at the moment, he's really enthusiastic about our series and should be at Silverstone. It'll be good to meet him.

It is likely that I will miss Silverstone. If anyone is interested in racing my car (ex-Baycon Racing), please let me know by pm or on [deleted].

I used Getting A Medical about 5 years' ago, and they have doctors around the country that you can book with for about £60. However, if you need an ECG, the only place on their list is at Silverstone.

Alternatively, you can book to have a medical at Race Retro.

I have a strong feeling of imposter syndrome.

Infinite Improbability Racing car 42 will be running in the sprint races, although we will likely miss Lydden Hill.

I spotted that the latest BARC newsletter includes an 8ppl discount on fuel costs with a charge & fuel card - This seems like a meaningful saving. For many people, this will comfortably pay for their BARC membership.

See the offer here.

Lots of terrific photos. I enjoyed going through them all. Thank you for sharing them.

There are a barely believable 16 races scheduled for Sunday, so I can see why they might want to do this.

Also be aware that there is no public access to the paddock.

I'm also looking for a drive in the 24 hour race. I'm expecting to be at Brands this weekend, so if you are in need of another driver, please let me know and I shall drop in.

It was good to meet some of you at Mallory Park today. Some good racing, I thought.

I hope that everyone is safe and well after the crashes in the final race. I was spectating on the outside of Gerard's, so got a good view of it.  :(
