Because I’ve got to wait an inordinately long time before I’m actually going to get into my Caterham and drive it, I’ve decided I’m going to race it… kind of.

You may also have spotted from my pictures and videos, I’m carrying a spare tyre of my own which isn’t needed for racing.

So, combining these two facts, my race will be to lose another stone by the time I first drive the car. That’s going to leave around 4 weeks to do it.

I’ll let you know how I get on.
