A great morning spent at @thruxtonracing with Army Motorsport discussing (and being educated) by young soldiers on all things motorsport. Such enthusiasm and camaraderie on display topped off with a spin round Thruxton with @tiff_tv Tiff Needell driving me at ridiculous speeds.

2024/25 was a season of setbacks and breakthroughs. After a COVID hit derailed the start, Marcus Webb bounced back to break GB records at the World Champs and land a career-best 42nd at the IBU Cup finale. Smart planning. Strong finish. Looking ahead to the next season!
