Hi Guys,
So I know I have be a bit distant as of recent and my blogs have most certainly been few and far between. But taking a break sometimes and reflecting on what is going on in your life, leaves you with a fresher outlook on everything. I have now realised that working as a full time hairdresser, blogging three times a week and working on YouTube videos, just isn't that achievable. All I was left with was a feeling of being rushed and tired, not what I was trying to achieve. Having said this, I'm not giving up, I'm just slowing down. There is no rush in life things will come and they will go. But at the end of it all, I can still say I had the time of my life doing three things I love. So I thought today I would sit and just talk to you in a completely unplanned post, what you read today is simply as I have typed it. Its back to basics and just sharing with you the things I truly love.
Talking of things I love, I have found a new love in life and that is motorsports. Now I can safely say I never thought I would say them in one sentence. But here I am. I was introduced to the motorbike racing first and from the moment them bikes shot past me I knew there was no going back. I was standing on the side of the track between the pits and the track waiting for it all to begin. There is a buzz which I cant quite explain but its that feeling when you know something really good is about to happen, yet you have never witnessed it before. First its the noise. You hear them coming and although their not up to you yet the sound rattles through you as you feel your adrenaline building. At the speed they are going they are past you before you know it. Next I would say you notice the smell of bikes and let me just say, its a smell I love. If you don't love it, I am pretty sure you will become to love. Its safe to saying there is no feeling like standing there as the bikes whip past you as you try to see each one. I knew from that moment on, I was well and truly in love.
Only the weekend after the bike racing did I find myself standing next to the same track but this time watching the British GT. I have always been a lover of fast cars but I had seen nothing yet. Watching the cars move down the pit lane onto the track left me with Goosebumps for what would happen next. I had no idea of the speeds I was about to witness or the fight the drivers would put up to earn their place. With their engines running and foot on the gas, the drivers were more than ready. All hoping to get that first place. As the cars start on their lap to warm up their tyres you see them swerving in and out while checking everything is ready to go. When all the cars are ready there's no turning back, the lights go red, the revs rise, the emotions and thoughts clear, their mind clearly wanting to win. The lights go green, the clutch drops, GO, before you know it.. Their there and they are passing you. It happens so quickly as they roar past. Filling me with that same adrenaline I had only felt a week ago. There is no feeling like watching a car take a corner at the speed it is going. Leaving you nervous but so excited.
As a mini driver seeing the minis at the British GT was not only my dream but it was also unreal. To stand next to your dream car is insane. Its not everyday a girl from Norfolk can say she's stood next to a cooper S and seen it being worked on, not long before its going to hit the track. The inside of these minis is unlike anything else. For one like most racing cars its missing parts so it can go that bit faster. It also has a tubular roll cage, which is a cage inside the car the driver sits in to protect themselves if the car does roll. This was something that definitely caught my eye. There's so many good things about these minis that I could explain. The engine is incredible, the sound of the car will leave you wanting to hear more. As someone that drives a mini my first reaction was I really want one. I honestly would love nothing more than to go round a track in one. When they did hit the track boy did they go. If you want to see a mini at its best, you need to watch it on the track. My love for these beautiful cars has only grown stronger and I can not wait till the next time I get to see them.
So as you can see my love for motorsports is well underway. I am actually going to see the superbikes very soon and will be posting all about that. If your a lover of speed you will adore motorsports. This is honestly something I will love for the rest of my life and can not wait to see what else happens on the track in races to come.
