Aske Hall Vintage Sprint 2016
After our little expedition overseas to “Spa” & “The Ring” it was time to come back down to earth with some real grass roots racing.

Spa Summer Classic 2016
The whole team travelled to Spa including the new trainee Mark.

Harewood British Championships Hill climb 2016
Once a popular class at Harewood, pre-94 Formula Fords have less support these days. Except, that is, from Robert Spedding and Ben Tranter who are still regular contenders in their shared Vector.

There were no celebrations, however, as a mark of respect to those that lost their lives in the Paris terror attacks on Friday. Ogier took the […]
