I'll fill in the history as and when I get the chance, but it's safe to say that over the last 2 years the car has been completely rebuilt. This has involved a large amount of time and money, which would have been even greater without the help and dedication of the supporting team who need an introduction.
Karen (The Team Boss & SWMBO):
Karen is one of the rare breed of women who has a genuine passion for cars and motor racing. She makes sure everything ticks in the background and lets me concentrate on the driving without having to worry about anything else. Without her support and encouragement I would have given up long ago!
Simon (Race Engineer):
Simon is a former colleague at Prodrive and longtime friend. He has helped with late nights scraping underseal, painting, diff and gearbox rebuilds, the list goes on and on. He is also a good target for a little bit of abuse from the driver. That may all end soon as Simon has plans for the 2010 season and now has a Rover Tomcat in build for Pre-93. Plenty of opportunity for me to repay the favours with late nights working on his car!
Stuart (Race Engineer & Entertainer):
Stuart is an experienced Cosworth technician having completed his apprenticeship in the Brooklyn workshops on their BTCC Sierra back in the 80s'. He is also the team leader for many of the Aston Martin show cars and one off prototypes which cover the pages of the motoring press. As you can guess he is a clever chap and pretty handy at working on cars, so his help and advice has been invaluable over the last few years. He can also be quite entertaining after a few ciders and enjoys the odd cow pushing session....
