Race of Remembrance — back to the flag

From Race of Remembrance — back to the flag

The Pink Peril is home from Anglesey. Twelve hours of endurance racing, four drivers, and 50th out of 63 cars. We made it to the flag. There was a point on Saturday night when that felt a little further away.

A small contact took us out of the race for around an hour. Not the Saturday evening we had planned, but we got back out and kept going. Endurance racing gives you plenty of time to have a problem. Fortunately, it also gives you a chance to come back from one.

A huge thank you to William Buckley, Joe Fletcher, Iain Thomson and Guillaume Le Meur for sharing the driving and bringing car 304 home. Four drivers, one small pink C1, and another race weekend in the book.

The moment that put everything into perspective came on Sunday, when racing paused for the Remembrance service in the pit lane. Time to stop, remember those lost in conflict, and think of those still living with its consequences.

That is what makes Race of Remembrance special. The weekend supports Mission Motorsport and its work helping service leavers, veterans and their families recover, retrain and find new opportunities. We were proud to be part of it.

From the garage to Snetterton, and now Anglesey. Our first season has given us plenty to learn from, a few things to sort, and every reason to keep going. We’re already looking forward to the 2027 season. Same small pink car. More chapters to come.
