I’m sure you all remember when, in the late ‘80s, a small typo in the regulations led to Group C rather than Group B cars taking part in the Brands Hatch Rallycross Grand Prix.

Made a contribution to the new look @MNmotorsport this week. Grew up with Dad getting up early on a Monday for press day, and I made many, many visits to the old offices at Standard House. Good to see the Arron name back in MN.

Absolutely made up with the Brentford result. So much new with the team this season. Almost certainly haven’t seen the best of what they can do yet so thought a slow start to the campaign might be on. But today was mega 🐝 Have a bloody good weekend everyone x

“There’s a pea-souper” Murray ❤️
🎥 From the archives: Brands Hatch, 1996. One of the most dramatic opening laps the #BTCC Super Touring era ever saw – cars everywhere, bodywork flying, and the race barely a few corners old! Were you there when this all kicked off at Paddock Hill Bend? 👀👇

50?! That broke my fucking head… Simply one of my favourite racing drivers of all time. Raw entertainment.
Can Juan Pablo Montoya really be 50? Yes, he was born #OnThisDay in ’75. Mega-talented, he won in #F1, #IndyCar, #Nascar & other series too, & my next #MotorSport column, published on Tuesday, will be all about him. Here he is en route to victory for Williams at Monaco in 2003.

Moved to a new desk as part of an office revamp this week. Added a long overdue bit of @SimonArron inspiration to my workstation. Perfect.

After yesterday’s news about MN. That got me wondering if anybody else had a Motorsport Brews mug knocking around 😅

Vivid memories of playing the original Gran Turismo endlessly with Dad to get enough in game credits to buy the Castrol Supra. Saw this on the shelf and had to get it. Even has my name on it 😅

Frequently visited Dad in the old 'Motoring News' offices at Standard House on Bonhill Street, London during the early years of my life. So it’s lovely to now welcome the current Motorsport News team into the fold. Hoping for a bright future for this great, historic name.

I’m proud to work in motorsport. But never wanted to just be the poor man’s @SimonArron. No disgrace because he was great, but I am lesser. Think of him every time I’m at a track. Missing him and his advice greatly right now. Hopefully see friendly faces at Brands this weekend.

Not every day you wake up and immediately get to listen to a new Born to era Springsteen track. The album had the right eight songs. But it’s a treat to hear what else was going on.

Five years without MA. She’s missed a lot. HOWEVER, the more she misses, the more those of us left are making the most of the time we’ve got. It ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive. Be good to those you love and enjoy today 🏁🧡
