Hello and welcome
This is just a test post really but I will take the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Matthew Willoughby and I am about to embark my 3rd season of competition in Class 1 of the Lotus 7 Club Speed Championship. I came fourth last year and am looking to improve on that but to be honest, as long as I beat my Dad, a fellow Class 1 competitor, I’ll be happy.
My car is a year 2000 ex-Academy Seven that is commonly known as ASBO due to its Ford Electric Orange or, as Clarkson named it, ASBO Orange, paintwork. ASBO is a live axle car with a 1.6l 8 valve Vauxhall engine – perhaps not the quickest spec in class 1 but not so much slower than the standard 1.6 K Series cars as to be uncompetitive.
My first event of the year will be at Goodwood in 3 weeks time. I’ll be sharing Dad’s K Series car for that event as I haven’t got a trailer and don’t fancy the long Friday night drive from Leicestershire to Sussex. Last year’s sprint there was the most enjoyable I have done so far so I can’t wait to be back there.
In the mean time let’s try out the picture function with a couple of ASBO photos.
