Sometimes people ask me…

… exactly what it is that I do.
There’s some info on the About page that describes what pays the bills.
However, sometimes at weekends I get the chance to let my hair down, and get downright and dirty with motorsport activities that involve multimedia, video, racing technology, radio and petrol fumes.
One regular highlight for me over the past 11 years has been the Le Mans 24 Hour race. If this could be your idea of fun, then I have to encourage you to hop across the channel and join the many thousands of Brits that make a pilgrimage to the Le Sarthe area each June.
It’s not just about the race- it’s the entire experience- the drive there and back, the people we meet and the sense of community on the site amongst many varied nationalities.
Maybe, this is also the appealing thing about the social side of social media for me… it’s all about the people and the conversations, not about the bling, the badges or the trophies gained from sales targets.
Here’s a a flavour of what Le Mans was about for me last year. Automobile and racing technology continues to be at the cutting edge of motorsport excellence, with much of what is developed filtering through to road cars in the fullness of time (take the Audi TDI engine for one example). The technology improves every year, but it’s the sense of community spirit, common ground and ideals, pleasant intelligent conversations and mutual friendships that keep me coming back every year.
Sit back, and enjoy. Maybe there’s some voices you’ll recognise…
Many thanks to Audi Motorsport for allowing me to play a very small part in a very large piece of motorsport history. Long may it continue.
