It was a busy but not completely successful year for the Westfield.
At the start of the year I made a few minor changes to the car, with a thicker aluminium radiator and luxuries like a USB power supply, LED DRLs and a (removable) boot.
Test drive to Burton Dassett:
In May, my dad and I competed at the HCAAC sprint at Debden in the beautiful sunshine.

And on-board with my final run of the day:
Also in May we attended a Westfield Sportscar Club day at Curborough. Unfortunately the weather in the morning was not as kind, so we took the MX5 instead.
In June I took the Westfield on a tour around Europe. Unfortunately it broke down on a mountain in Austria when i left the ignition on with the engine off. This created a lot of stress to get it resolved, but I still had a great holiday and managed to stay in every planned location, although I am now much more familiar with Lienz than I had hoped to be!
After returning home, we went on a track day at Snetterton, which was shortened due to a number of other cars crashing and the evening light fading.
In October I competed in the second Debden sprint of the year:
And went on a drive to Wales before tucking the car away for the winter:
Christmas 2018 was spent building another, smaller Westfield! Lego sell a Caterham kit, which I painted and modified to build a replica of my own car.
The main change for 2019 will be some longer front shock absorbers to prevent the car hitting the ground quite so often. Hopefully that will allow even more adventures to come!
