M.A.D Racing

Yesterday we took Joshua back to Brands Hatch to watch some motor racing. One of my work colleagues (Alex) is part of the M.A.D racing team competing in the kit car series with Des and Mike. The team were kind enough to let Joshua sit in their beloved Kermit machine for a few nice shots for the blog.

Here is the little guy getting his first glimpse of the big green machine.

Alex had an unfortunate incident in the first race and was taken off of the track on the first lap at the druids bend. So extra help was called in to get the car fixed up for the second race. Joshua was just the right height to get down and dirty with the mechanics.

Is this a future Schumacher in the making?

Seems the little man might struggle to reach the gear stick!

Best the little man gets out of the car and lets the team get on with the second race.

Finally here is a shot of Alex in action during the second race. After a phenomenal performance by the team to repair the bent steering rack they managed to get Alex back on the track with just seconds to spare before the start. Their efforts were rewarded with Alex coming 4th overall (and that was after having a spin as well).

Thanks to the M.A.D team for a great day out. If anyone is interested in more info on M.A.D racing then go to http://mad-racing.blogspot.com/
