18 - 19th June 2010
The team have returned from the next round of the Richard Egger Insurance National Asphalt rally championship the Trinity Hyundai rally of the Midlands, run by my motor club Streetly Motor Club, this two day event runs Friday 18th and Saturday 19th of June covers over 90 stage miles over 7 different venues across central England and with a ceremonial town centre start recreates the feeling of the Lombard RAC rallys of old. Unfortunately despite a good showing on Friday the team had to retire on Saturday morning due to navigator's ill health, so no championship points …..!


29th May 2010 Afternoon of Fun had by all. Lots of fun had at Curborough over the weekend. despite the poor weather it was a cracking day. Lawrence has uploaded some video to youtube and Dan has uploaded some photos as well.


17th April 2010 the team are successfully back from Quinton Motor Clubs Disis stages at Motor Industry Research test track near Nuneaton. Not a championship round but a smooth tarmac, local, single day rally, a chance for Charlie to navigate and team to practice servicing car on events. Despite very hot day and a few tyre and cone incidents we finished 44 O/A. Well done to 2 Dans for a class win and commiseration to our neighbours in their AX who rolled on stage 3.


March 2010 George, Geoff and the team are back from the first round of the Richard Egger Insurance National Asphalt championship - the Fix Auto Swansea Tour of Epynt. Starting in Llandovery this is a high speed event over the famous Epynt ranges, despite a broken engine mounting all day and and very limited servicing time, the team managed to finish the final sixth stage 49th overall and 1st in N2 and return to Llandovery, but due to an administration problem there was no award and no championship points for the team. A great disapointment after so much work.





Winter 2009 / 2010 plans are well underway with George, Geoff and the team preparing the Tomsport Grp N2 Saxo VTS for an attempt at the 2010 Richard Egger Insurance MSA Asphalt Rally Championship. This championship is made up of the top multivenue tarmac rallies across England, Scotland, Ireland and Isle of Man

Thank you to Frances, husband and dog for braving terrible weather on Epynt to support us and for pictures.

Winter 2006
Congratulations to George,  Paul and the team  for successfully completing the 2006 Prima National Tarmac championship;
 

In the UKs premier tarmac rally championship and  what is very long and hard tarmac         rallies spread from Cornwall to Northumberland lots of competitors fell by the ways side but we finished and at the end of a difficult year Paul won N2 Co driver and George was second in N2 driver!   not bad for a first year in the 2006 Prima Motorsport National Asphalt Rally Championship. What success awaits them next? "

George and Stu gain a finish at the Rockingham raceway event.

 

"I have been working on the Tomsport Saxo VTS over the months since we used it as course car on 2004 Streetly Motor Club's Rally of the Midlands, updating the specification to return it to the proper Grp N specification I intend to use in the future but it was still on forest suspension, not really a wise move for a high speed tarmac venue."
