This month's sports news.

Hinchester in action, home and away

Our local football team tried to put all the transfer speculation behind them and get on with their matches. All the talk about which of the Hinchester players was going to Real, and who was going to Man U, was however a distraction as the team took on the Thai Lawyers team in Pattaya.
Part of the reason for the tour was for cultural exchange experience, and to explore the major differences in after dark activities in the run up to a big game. Some of the team did more in depth exploring than others. It would be fair to say fitness levels suffered.
The Thai Lawyers were on the day a better prepared unit, producing some flowing moves to entertain the crowd. (Most of whom were Hinchester subs.)
A good game played in good spirit with the final score 5-3 to the Pattaya team.
The local lads were in action earlier in the month, against old rivals, the Tessaban team in a 7 a side encounter. Both sides played some flowing football, with neither team taking the advantage, the exciting match ended 1-1.

History
Circuit De Nevers is a typical modern racetrack. It was opened to grand prix in 1991 following a massive upgrading of the old club racing circuit. The then French President Mitterand took a keen interest in the project, as it took riches into a largely rural environment.
Facilities are excellent and the actual circuit is a mix of slow corners and tight hairpins.
Take the chance to call in at the Ligier F1 museum and see 16 cars together with various other team memorabilia and photographs.
Also the Motor Sports Museum opened in the Autumn of last year with its first major display - depicting Renault's Centenary of Motor Racing.

History
Silverstone is owned and operated by the British Racing Drivers Club and opened for racing in 1948 using the runways and service roads of a wartime airfield. The outline is still visible, but constant development and massive investment have made the circuit the brand leader in the sport.
Revisions to the circuit, enhanced safety precautions, new pits and a redeveloped paddock complex are just part of the success story.
Silverstone hosted the first-ever round of the world championship in 1950 and is one of only two circuits to host a championship race consistently since then.
