Angus Fender: Life in lockdown as a racing driver

After finally shaking down my 2020 McLaren 720S GT3 at Snetterton, the world came to a halt as the COVID-19 pandemic arrived. All my racing and university plans were put on hold, and all sporting plans were cancelled. What do you do as a driver when you can’t race?…

Dubai 24 Hours – Angus Fender

My first outing of 2020 took me back to one of my favourite races from last year, the Dubai 24 Hours. As it’s the only flyaway car race I’ve ever competed in, this event is always one I really look forward to, especially this year where I’d be returning to race the BMW M4 I started the 2019 season in.
