    Cannot believe your channel hasn't hit 500k subs already - the diversity of your content outweighs so many others Mark! Pretty sure it will happen soon, especially when we pair up and show everyone what 2 petrol heads of (around) 50yrs of age can do against the youngsters on the track. Keep it going - I'm in! Best of luck :)

It's amazing to be able to join you on your adventures and attempts in something new! Would love to join you in endurance race, but sadly it's impossible for me due to the fact i am not in the UK nor EU. Thanks for your videos one more time, wish you luck and waiting for more! Cheers to your family and friends too, it's great to see them supporting you :)

    Hi Mark, I’m Andy Godfrey’s daughter who raced with you in the Focus Cup at Donington and unfortunately I couldn’t make it so I asked him to get a photo with you. I have always wanted to take up racing alongside my dad but we have never had the budget to do so. If you would consider me, I can see that this is an amazing opportunity and I think we would make a great team. As well as this, I have motorsport media experience as I have worked with BTCC to develop their social following and other championships and drivers as well. Can’t wait to hear for the results 🤩

    It surprises me that with all your history of buggy racing, that taking those skills across to the tarmac would be so different and difficult. Just goes to show that each motorsport is its own. Saying that 2nd in class and 10th overall is a massive result for a first race, good work! As far as the competition for your subscribers goes, that's such a Mark McCann thing to do, a man for the people! I'd love the opportunity to race the C1's, I've heard its such a fun "affordable" race series to enter.
