Matters of the Moment   
March is when historic race enthusiasts park up waiting for April. Then bang, it all happens. Almost before the month begins, Prescott Speed Hill Climb holds its traditional Test Day and then yours truly is off to Mugello in Italy, courtesy of Peter Auto, followed by France with Masters at Paul Ricard. Not enough? Okay, how about Spa Francorchamps in Belgium for the superb Spa 3 Hours endurance race? And, it will still be April. We just need to get March out the way!
