YOUTUBE REVIEW
It is quite the accolade to be so fast that a rival puts a protest in about you to find out what on earth is going on.
Seventeen-year-old Marcus Short has that accolade. And in this week’s Motorsport News we check in with him to find out about his rise within six months from being a sim competitor to a single-seater racer. And driving in the MG Car Club’s MG Cup at Cadwell Park earlier this year, despite being in the slowest class of three in his Rover 216 GTi, he qualified third overall within seven tenths of pole. And he topped his class by five seconds.
And you can watch onboard footage of the full qualifying lap, that contributed to befuddling his rivals, on his dad Martin Short’s YouTube channel, at: youtube.com/watch?v=Qsd8OAXQAmo. And if nothing else it’s glorious Cadwell. A UK Nordschleife (albeit a shorter one) exists and it’s in Lincolnshire.
