It seems Carl Edwards has been a naughty boy. His on-track shenanigans with Brad Keselowski have led to serious off-track debate, with many fans feeling he should be punished by officials. A few years ago this may also have been the case but whilst talk will have gone on outside the Atlanta Motor Speedway about the [...]

It feels like a lifetime but at long last motorsport returns to our screen this weekend with the NASCAR Budweiser Shootout – live from Daytona Florida!
It’s a new season but unfortunately it may not be a fresh start as an old feud once again rears its head. It seems that incidents in Texas last November are [...]

There are a few things that will be big in 2010 – shoulder pads and F1 grid line-ups to name a few. Another trend set to rule big in 2010 is location-based tracking (fans of FourSquare will know what I mean). For those of you sans iPhone location-based tracking means you can find users within a certain [...]

This weekend sees the start of the new WRC season, and the reappearance of one of motorsport’s biggest characters – move over Dancing on Ice man (anyone else irritated by the Boyzone bloke using the nickname?!) because on January 29th the original ‘Iceman’ is back!
Yes, Kimi Raikkonen will be racing again as he makes his [...]

The quietest motorsport…

Being in the PR world I am of the firm belief that publicity makes the world go round; understandably this isn’t a few that everyone shares. Whilst F1, NASCAR, Indycar and the BTCC have had not problem generating publicity another series is preparing for 2010 in a much quieter way…
The World Series by Renault will return to [...]

I pondered over whether I should write this post at all (apologies if it isn’t what you’re used to seeing!)
I wanted to use the story of Nelson Piquet Jr, going to NASCAR after failing to secure an F1 drive, to demonstrate some new Social Media monitoring tools which will tell you not only if people [...]

Hi guys, after a looong absence from the blogosphere (those of you who follow my Twitter account will know why) I’m back!
And what better way to get the first blog of 2010 underway then by drawing a close to the last post of ‘09. The following may not be in as much detail as the [...]

Awards season may be a few months away but I thought I’d get a jump on the crowd and so, without further ado, I present the reason there’s been no blog for a while, the reason my internet usage has trebled over the last few days (research!) and the reason I will be running a [...]

Whilst I’m weighing up people’s suggestions for my first annual motorsport PR awards (not too late to e-mail, comment or Twitter DM me your suggestions for any media spectacles that caught your eye this year!) I thought I’d drop a quick post.
Toyota, who recently announced their immediate withdrawl from of F1 have reaffirmed their commitment to the six teams they currently [...]

I read an interesting article from a Twitter link the other day about how companies should not always listen to customers and when presented with what they thought they wanted (i.e the example given was healthier options at McDonalds ) they find they don’t want it after all. The article (apologies can’t find the link - should have favourite-d it!) [...]

I’m a person who likes autumn and winter, I love leaf fights with my little sis, I love Halloween, I love snow, I looove Christmas and I love Christmas shopping even more (freaky I know!) The one thing I don’t love it that the end of October signals the end of the F1 season…
We may [...]

Firstly a huge congratulations to Sebastien Loeb; the WRC star secured an amazing sixth championship in the Welsh hills at the weekend and shows no signs of slowing down (although the brakes have been put on a Torro Rosso drive in Abu Dhabi).
Congratulations are also due to Bertrand Baguette and his team Draco Racing who did the double [...]

So has everyone just about recovered from the weekend’s action? Champiooone champiooone was ringing through my head for a good few hours after the stunning drive that saw Jenson Button secure the world championship with one race to go, impressive stuff. There are people that would argue that Jenson is an undeserving champion but I [...]

Whilst most series (F1, BTCC etc) are drawing to a close, next week will see the start of the 09/10 A1GP series…or will it? I’ve blogged previously about the struggles the series is having to get off the ground and it seems, with only 7 days to lights out, the rumours are persisting.
The series appeared to [...]

What do Rock n Roll, Hollywood and NASCAR have in common? Apart from all being American institutions they all also have a hall of fame, or at least they will by tomorrow…yes Wednesday sees the announcement of the five greats who will make it into the inaugural NASCAR Hall of Fame.
The actual hall will be located in Charlotte USA [...]

Ok I’ll just come out and say it – I have a girly-side. I may have petrol flowing through the veins but my heart beats for all things fashion and therefore I love watching the collections launching in the traditional hotspots around the globe. Each designer picks their space, themes it to enhance the collection, has [...]

Firstly huge congratulations (and Moonpig cards if I had the addresses) to Colin Turkington for clinching the drivers title in the BTCC championship and Vauxhall for doing the double on their final year in BTCC (for now) and claiming the constructors and team title. Congratulations also to BTCC title-sponsors HiQ Fastfit for their ‘project pink’ [...]

GP2 is considered one of the best breeding grounds for new F1 talent, little wonder then that rumours are circulating around Sebatien Loeb’s announced GP2 test drive. The most successful man in the WRC championship (52 times and very much counting) is apparently preparing for a spin in a Toro Rosso around the new Abu Dhabi [...]

Another fantastic weekend of motorsport gone, can’t believe close it is to the finale of many of the ‘09 championships (and ‘09 in general if I’m honest!) My attention was split between the streets of Singapore (yeyy for Button, Alonso, Glock and Hmailton!) and the speedways of Dover where Jimmie Johnson unlocked his full potential to [...]

Looking back a lot of my Indycar posts have been based around a certain Danica Patrick and so, in what I believe can now be classed as tradition, here’s another!
The 27 year old has ended months of speculation by sigining a deal to stay on with Andretti Green Racing for a minimum of three years. Motorola [...]
