Martyn gets a suit sorted

One of Martyn's supporters - Stephen Donaldson read we were after the loan of a suit.

 So he contacted Martyn's karting competitor and friend Matt Bell from Southampton.  Matt has done a few Formula BMW races and is set to race in a few weeks time in Formula Palmer Audi so has the gear.  He has kindly offered to loan his FBMW suit to Martyn for Martyn's race at Knockhill.

Many thanks Matt

Another issue Martyn needs to look at for his motorsport race debut at Knockhill.  It's an expensive move from karts to cars.  Martyn needed to sit an ARDS test (around £300), then he needed to get his licence (another £49) - even though he already had a Kart National A licence - not really encouragement from the MSA is it?

On top of that his kart suits are not suitable for cars and his helmet is also not suitable.  If Martyn likes cars and does well - and we can get some money together he will get a new suit and helmet (Arai only as far as he is concerned) maybe at the Autosport show where we should be able to get a "deal"

For the race meeting ahead though he will need to get some kit so Martyn is on the lookout for a loan of a race-suit.  Aly Hunter has a helmet if Martyn is stuck and Martyn's still has his original Sparco helmet which will comply although a little worn now.
