Today I became the lastest member of Batec Team Rapid. I was asked to join the team last year and today was my official inauguration. Taking to the Silverstone tarmac, I tested my new Batec Quad Rapid with Stuart from Cyclone Mobility who is the UK distributer for Batec. Basically, the Batec bike is an electric hand bike that attaches to the front of your wheelchair effectively turning you into a three wheeled 30kph rocket! What is so brilliant about this bike is not only that it is rapid (as the name suggests!) but they do a version specifically designed for quadriplegics (people who have broken their neck and the paralysis affects their fingers), 'In Kawasaki green, the BATEC QUAD RAPID handbike features exclusive components like carbon-fibre handlebars. But what will undoubted…

I'm absolutely delighted to announce that OpenTrack have come on board as team sponsors for 2017. Dave is a good friend ours and a big supporter of mine and I'm very grateful for his generosity and support. OpenTrack track days are a perfect arena for me to get some seat time in the Cayman which is a big cost to my racing budget over the course of a season. Dave's generous sponsorship will allow me to get some great quality practice in this season which I wouldn't have otherwise been able to do. Yesterday saw the start of this relationship as I took the Cayman to OpenTrack's first Silverstone GP day of the season. If you haven't been on an OpenTrack day, check out their shiny new website and see what…

I'm extremely pleased to welcome Milltek Motorsport on board as a 2017 team sponsor. The Cayman has just been fitted with the Milltek non-resonated cat-back system with ceramic black tips and it sounds incredible! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SHMypiZOvA The Cayman has always lacked somewhat in the sound department. In the car, it's as loud as anything with the stripped out interior and the engine sitting right behind your head but all you used to be able to hear outside the car was the induction. The new Milltek exhaust has properly made the flat six soundtrack come to life! It's deep, loud and has a decent amount of crackle and pops. I love the sound of the overrun and I cannot wait to test my new exhaust at Silverstone on Saturday. I picked the…

After a great weekend at the Autosport show we are pleased to announce that Omologato are joining Nathalie McGloin Racing for a third season as a team sponsor. Omologato and Nathalie McGloin Racing have been with each other from the start of both of their ventures into Motorsport. Omologato approached Nathalie a month into her first season of racing when the watch company was just two months old to support her with sponsorship. The relationship was very organic, Nathalie having bought one of Omologato's first watches due to loving the ethos behind the brand, and Omologato saw what Nathalie was doing in Motorsport and instantly knew they had to be involved. A beautiful friendship has since blossomed between Shami and Nathalie and their working relationship is stronger than ever. Nathalie will…

REPOST FROM WALERO:  Click here for original article Nathalie, who is the first woman with a severe spinal injury to obtain a racing licence in 2015, is a woman on a mission. Since breaking her neck in a car crash as a passenger when she was just 16 years old, Nathalie has continued to pursue various sporting challenges on and off the track. While at university she began playing wheelchair rugby gaining a place on the GB national squad but it was the introduction to motorsport during a track day that ignited her fire. 2017 will see Nathalie committed to her duties as a ‘Dare to be Different’ ambassador and she will be contesting the Porsche Club Championship in the UK and selected sports car endurance events. Also, she has…

I'm very pleased to announce a new sponsor for the 2017 season, Dynolight Rollers. This year I'm competing in the London Marathon and a set of racing wheelchair rollers are essential to getting the training in when the weather isn't great. Dynolight Rollers are a lightweight, portable roller that you fill with sand or similar to create resistance.                               I can't wait to start using these! Because of their portable nature, you can easily take these to competitions to use as a warm up tool on the start line. Or, if space is short at home, they are super easy and quick to dismantle when not in use. Andy the founder and designer of the rollers is…
