Front cover - Karting Magazine (July '09)

Immensely satisfying..!

These are the only words to describe the feeling when a magazine gives you a front cover!

I covered the Anthony Davidson test a few weeks ago when he took three different TKM karting chassis' around the PF International circuit, where the former Honda and Super Aguri F1 driver had a terrific time.

The article and images from that test are in this month's edition of Karting Magazine (July 2009), which is out nw, and taking pride of place as the lead article in the mag this month.

My heartfelt thanks go to the editor Mark Burgess for choosing me over the many others who tend to get the majority of covers, which just makes the photograph that has appeared on the front cover, as shown aside, all the more satisfying.

Ant called me yesterday just after he had covered the obligatory 10 laps at Le Mans, where he has joined the Gulf Lola Aston Martin LMP1 team, and his co-drivers, former F1 driver Jos Vesrappen, and Darren Turner. They are up against the odds with the Audi and Peugeot diesel cars ruling from the front, which Ant reckons are averaging six seconds a lap faster. "I'm not worried", he said, and over 24-hours things can happen. They just need to have the odd problem or two and we'll be looking to beat them".
