Recently I was planning on taking my dad to Silverstone for the British GP as a birthday present and to say thanks for all the support he has given me over the years. I had it all worked out, prices for tickets, accomodation travel etc. Then, next thing I know, from nowhere, BAM, Im made redundant. Luckily I hadnt mentioned it to dad, I was keeping it on the down low as a surprise which was a good thing because it looks like I cant afford it now. I was completely gutted, I really wanted him to see, hear and feel the experience of a GP.

Now imagine my excitement when I discover that of all the teams in the Championship, one of them is coming to our home city, Belfast and that team is Red Bull. I couldnt believe it at first, I had to read the article several times, making sure that I had read correctly that it was Belfast, in Northern Ireland, and that it was not one of those instances where you read what you want it to say lol.

I may not be able to afford to take my dad to a GP now, but thanks to Red Bull and their showcar, we can at least see and experience an F1 car up close in our home town. We are really looking forward to seeing the car and its pilot, The Flying Scotsman DC this weekend, surely to be one of the biggest highlights of the year. I'm just hoping and praying that we get a good day for the event and the sun is shining.

It also fills the gap nicely between the Bahrain and OZ GP's

Thank you Red Bull
