. @GeniePointEV any reason why all chargers at Bicester Hol Inn GP11658 are all faulted? Shocking service

It's a tragic day. Can't believe the news. One of the loveliest guys and so deserving of the plaudits he was earning in recent years. Such a terrible shame. I'm sure the whole of the rallying community is united in grief tonight. Thoughts with Craig's family and friends

Please RT if you would like me to consider standing against @Jacob_Rees_Mogg again, as an independent for one term only. As before, I would step aside if a better unity candidate emerges, or if @UKLabour & @LibDems decide to fight each other & I would only further split the vote.

Somewhat conflicted today. I love Lewis and respect him massively as the GOAT, but I was working with Jos in 1997 - I remember Max being born! Let’s hope it’s a great race to finish an epic season. #F12021

Lovely memorial service for Rob Foote and his wife Rosemary today. Good turn out from the motorsport family - Goodwood’s Ian Houghton gave a fitting tribute about Rob’s passion for motorsport, marshalling and his prized Caterham. #ThanksMarshal

Great time on the banks @thruxtonracing yesterday. Thanks to everyone that helped the new boy, esp Alan & Andy for taking me round, Liz & team on post 6. Even got on the flags! Such camaraderie. If you want to give it a go, get in touch with BARC. #ThanksMarshal #OrangeFamily

We must never take for granted the amazing dedication and commitment of the volunteers that make our sport happen. These tragic, but mercifully rare, moments are an opportunity to reflect on their vital roles. Such a sad day #ThanksMarshal Full statement: barc.net/barc-statement/

Huge congratulations to @Missionmotorspt. An incredible effort from all the whole team! Did the fastest circuit in the UK just become the most efficient?!
We're thrilled to announce that we have not only beaten the current #Hypermiling record, we smashed it! The little #RenaultZOE fitted with @ensotyres managed a staggering 475.4 miles - 124.4 miles more than the previous 351mile record. Find out more here: missionmotorsport.org/news/2…

A first for Thruxton. We held The Müller 2021 Wheelchair Marathon. Congrats to @davidweir2012 who won the male race in 1h 45min & @ShellyWoods86 who won the female race in 2h. Incredible athletes throughout the field. Best of luck to everyone heading to the Tokyo later this year. – at Southampton, England
The Weirwolf wins once again 🐺🥇 @davidweir2012 claims the Müller 2021 Wheelchair Marathon top spot at Thruxton Circuit with a time of 1:44:45 💪 Live results ➡️ fal.cn/3ejRj

Some companies have behaved well in this crisis, others badly. We will remember their performances after it's all over. @BrittanyFerries have been shameful. It's illegal to go abroad, the French won't let us in, yet BF won't refund a booking made 4 months ago. #UseTheTunnel

Jabbed yesterday. Was hoping for at least one day in bed. Not even a sore arm. I must be hard as nails. 💪😂

Desperately sad to hear this news. Murray was always a legend, but he was also a true gentleman. And he was incredibly kind to a young PR guy who arrived in F1 in ‘97 knowing nothing at all... Thank you, Murray ❤️
We’re deeply saddened to hear that Murray Walker has passed away. A true icon, Murray had a knowledge and passion for the sport like no other and he will always be a dear friend of BARC. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Murray’s friends and family. Thank you, Murray ❤️
