Friday 15th January isn’t just a normal Friday… For me it’s my last full day in my current job. Having been with Fortec Motorsports for just over 2 and a half years, today marks the end of an era. My time at Fortec has seen me climb and navigate several obsticles, not only at work as a mechanic but also my personality.
I started at Fortec in June 2013 on the British Formula Renault team, running Sam MacLeod. I will always remember that first day I walked into the workshop, as if the day wasn’t hard enough we were leaving for a test in Wales that evening. There was no time for any “hello’s” as it was all hands on to get the two cars ready to be loaded into the trucks, ready for the trip to Anglesey. I don’t know the best way to describe the journey other than ‘awkward’, although 4 hours of awkward was a good way to finally get to know my new colleagues. Once we arrived it was typical Wales weather.. dark, cold, windy and wet – the perfect combination for a so called summer test.
