With the name shamelessly stolen from the opening track to the Chili's Uplift Mofo Party Plan, to sum up my efforts. Full race distance (why I want to do this, as I should have plenty to talk about.) Because of the distance, don't expect frequent updates, I do have other things to do, like twiddle my thumbs and watch pigs fly by in a stolen Wright brothers plane.
First point of call is getting a drive, which involved testing for STR, Midland and Super Agurri.
STR test was at Silverstone, in the wet, I failed miserably and was about 3-4 seconds off the pace. My confidence dropped quicker than your IQ after watching Big Brother. On to the Midland test. This went even worse, given that it was at Catalunya, I track I have no rhythm at. So, my last and only hope of getting anywhere as a driver is at Super Agurri. The track is Magny-Cours, the weather is fine. I beat the target time by 0.7s and get offered a seat as Test driver, better than nowt.
Testing:
First 4 tests all achieved, personal tests or team ability tests. Get stuck in a rut with tests at Catalunya and Australia. Then master some camber tests in Malaysia. In a meeting with my bosses at my review (I wore a pink Tux with fluffy cuffs), they offered me a place as second driver.
Next stop: Monaco GP!

May find some time in a fortnight to do a race! Wanted to get this down before I forgot it.
