We took part in British GT, with Richard Nearys brand new Mercedes GT3. It was a fraught year sadly, with too many crashes, caused by outside influences. A couple of 24 Hour races as well.

We looked after various historic cars, including our ex Sister Dallara to the one showed here in Masters Endurance Legends. Martins own Oreca Dallara Judd SP1 car took part at the end of 2017 in the Masters Endurance legends first race (at Spa), and then again in 2018 at Brands hatch and Silverstone Classic, winning class on all 3 occasions.

The majority of 2019 was spent supporting Motus One, looking after their client, Brabham Automotive. Martin had his quietest racing year since 1986 (!) and did only two races, though one was a rather special one, with his son Morgan having his first race in the Mighty C1 in the 24 Hours. With their fellow drivers Ian Stinton and Graham Coomes, they got up to 4th, however a blown engine resulted in slipping down the order, but it was great fun. The other was in the TVR Tuscan pictured below at Combe for the 30th Anniversary of the race series. 

We hope to be doing more with the TVR Tuscan, Moslers, Radicals, Brabham and who knows what :)
