MID-WEEK 180 - My biggest adventure happens next week !

**A Day with F1 and Drifting**

As I sat down to write this piece, I couldn't help but think about what do when you might get to experience the thrill of driving a super car. For some, it's drifting, while others prefer the speed and agility of Formula One. Whatever your passion, there's no denying that driving high-performance vehicles is an exhilarating experience.

I've had the opportunity to attend a few racing events in the past, but nothing compares to the sheer adrenaline rush of qualifying for F1. The speed, the skill, and the strategy all come together in a way that's truly awe-inspiring. I was fortunate enough to watch a session at a renowned circuit, where drivers pushed their cars to the limit, taking corners with precision and finesse. It's no wonder why F1 is one of the most popular forms of motorsport.

But what really gets my heart racing is the idea of driving a Formula One car itself. The thought of navigating a 300-mile track at over 150 miles per hour is both thrilling and intimidating. I can only imagine the level of skill and concentration required to master such a high-performance vehicle. For now, though, it remains a dream for many enthusiasts.

**Working with Future Terrain**

On a completely different note, I've been approached by Future Terrain, an armed forces rehabilitation charity that does incredible work in training and qualifying individuals who have served in the military community. Their mission is to provide support and adventure activities to those who have sacrificed so much for their country. As someone who's passionate about using my platform to make a positive impact, I was immediately drawn to this cause.

Future Terrain has a range of programs and initiatives aimed at helping veterans readjust to civilian life after serving in the military. From off-roading and motorsport activities to engineering and driving-related projects, their goal is to provide individuals with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the modern world. I'm excited to be working with them on a project that's both challenging and rewarding.

**A Week of Off-Roading Adventures**

Unfortunately, our original plan to drive 1,000 kilometers over the Pyrenees in off-roaders was put on hold due to lockdown restrictions. Instead, we've rearranged our itinerary to take us to various military training facilities across the UK. Over the course of a week, we'll be engaging in all sorts of off-road driving activities, from zip-lining in Wales to navigating treacherous terrain in specially modified vehicles.

But it's not just about the driving; it's also about the people and stories behind this charity. We've got some incredible characters lined up, each with their own unique experiences and perspectives. From ex-soldiers to engineers and adventurers, our group is diverse and talented, making for a truly unforgettable experience.

**Content Creation and Upcoming Videos**

As I prepare to embark on this adventure, I'm also aware that it's an opportunity to create some amazing content for my channel. Over the next few days, I'll be filming behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with the charity team, and of course, plenty of driving action. Whether it's racing a McLaren 675LT or taking on a brand-new Jaguar, there's no shortage of excitement and adrenaline-fueled moments to capture.

If you're following me on Instagram, be sure to keep an eye out for daily updates from Future Terrain. I'll be sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses into our adventure, as well as some incredible stories from the people we meet along the way. It's going to be a wild ride, and I'm thrilled to have you all along for the journey.

**The Week Ahead**

So what can you expect from this week of content? Well, for starters, I'll be driving a Mclaren 675LT on Tuesday, followed by an incredible Mini on Wednesday. Thursday sees me behind the wheel of an Aston Martin DBX (or something even more amazing!), and Friday will bring another brand-new Jaguar to the table.

It's going to be a busy week, but that's exactly what makes it so exciting. With a mix of racing, off-roading, and charity work thrown into the equation, I know this is going to be one for the books. Stay tuned, folks – it's going to be an adventure you won't want to miss!

you did every year and did you declare that to things like your insurance and car finance i think it's safe to say most of us are doing an awful lot less miles than we would normally do but the two standout ones for me was matt from australia first of all with 45 000 kilometers a year and i thought that was a lot until andrew davis piped up with 40 000 miles a year i mean that is unbelievable but i think most of us are in that kind of 10 to 15 000 mile bracket this week's question i want to know what the best petrol head experience you've ever paid to do is it might be a super car driving

however you say it what a circuit for a formula one car my goodness me uh i thought qualifying was just incredible to watch and the race clearly massive amounts of carnage but i really hope they take
