Thanks To The Following People
It is a Murphy's law certainty that someone will be overlooked in the following expression of thanks, and I apologise to them unreservedly, but here goes!
- David Bartrum, the irrepressible boss of Motorbase Performance www.motorbaseperformance.co.uk without whom I guess it just wouldn't happen.
- Barbara Gill, the long suffering "Mrs" Bartrum who keeps us fed, watered, Hoteled, tidy and under control!
- My team mates Steven Kane www.stevenkane.com and Sam Hancock
www.samhancock.com who have been a constant source of inspiration and support, sharing data and driving advice, all gratefully received.
- Patrick de Groot, the Dutch race engineer we "shared" with Richard Westbrook, the 2007 Porsche Supercup Champion. His extraordinary knowledge, patience and good humour have made better drivers of all three of us.
- Lance (Jason) Cornwell, the Head of the Porsche division of Motorbase Performance, who has run an extremely tight and efficient "ship" all year with the Team's trademark good humour!
- The "Boys" - Timmy Hull, John (JB) Beard, Davey, Andy (Solihull), Andy Jackson, Keith, Stuart (Solihull), Jamie Waller, Grump, Callum Edwards and finally Weynand van Duuren (Clint!) when we borrowed him from Hisaq.
- Andy Dowle from Spit and Polish www.spitandpolish.co.uk who must be sick of the sight of gold centres from Porsche wheels!
- Bobby Hole at Hextable Accident Repair for knocking out the bumps and scrapes and keeping the cars pristine.
- Joe at Screentek for fitting an amazing number of windscreens
- Simon Hill for all the nice things he says about us on Television.
- Rod Honer for his IT support and making sure that www.britnellteamracing.com is kept up to date in association with WickedWeb www.wickedweb.co.uk
- Jeff Bloxham for taking or arranging photographs at all the races at amazing value. www.jeffbloxham.com
- Gabi Marshall for making Hospitality a pleasure to experience and for supplying some amazing grid girls throughout the year. I know they were for the Touring cars but the Porsche team thoroughly enjoyed the association!! www.motorsportmodel.co.uk
- Paul Lawrence for writing some great race reports and getting us into the press whenever he could.
- My Wife Lizzie for supporting me when she could and letting me go away for long race weekends with a bunch of badly behaved boys when she couldn't
- My Daughter Chloe for being my biggest fan and not being afraid that all of the other spectator's knew it. "Come on Dad!"
- My regular fans - Chris, Romaine and Delhanna Rowell, Sam, Sue Dowle, Hedley Saunders, Dave Bye, Ted & Hazel Draper, Nick Lee, Nick Thake, Simon Kent and Mark Zandler.
- Tony Murray for arranging the FreeM race suits.
- George Holroyd at Geographics for cutting and stickering what must seem like acres of livery for the cars and trucks!
- Brother Gary for bringing me back down to earth with some well chosen humour and "cryptic" abuse!! ("You were driving like a.........!!")
- Ian Casselton for achieving the impossible in taking a slightly overweight and unfit driver at the beginning of the year and turning him into a leaner, meaner and better racer! www.ptdirect.biz
- Anthony (Ants) Waller - for his considerable skill in resurrecting very crashed race cars and getting what looks like a hopeless case back on the grid! His skill in the bar in the evenings is almost as impressive!
