The awning is the hub of the race weekend… the place you get yourself pumped up before a race or quali, where you rack your brains going through data, laugh and relax with your friends and teammates, you cry when things don’t quite go your way and you celebrate when you dominate with ease.

It’s with these things in mind that we do our best to make it feel like a home inside the race track. Bringing together a team that supports each other through the roller coaster that is motorsport is the most important element during a race weekend, and is also what brings those extra tenths out of a lap time!

We are always looking at adding new cars and drivers into our stable so if your looking for a team that can run your race car for the weekend, or even fancy immersing yourself into the team and the rush of motor racing on a trackday experience, please drop us a message and we will see how we can help you!

A truly crazy season finale at Silverstone! A weekend full of testing situations for both of our drivers however they both came away with respectable results!

Andi struggled with setup all through testing, only to find the best of a bad balance in the last session…. and then had a coil pack fail. With the car fixed but not 100% for race day he made the most of a loss of power to finish p19/44 in Race 2 and secured P8 overall in the championship in his first season in cars!

Harrison once again showed brilliance, he didn’t quite catch a tow in quali but still managed P14. He was then up to P11 in race 1 and 2nd fastest on track when a coil pack once again failed, resulting in a DNF! Race 2 saw him come through from P44 to P16 with an incredible drive, overtaking 16 cars on the first lap and pulling off a stunning move on 4 cars in the last corner!

We now move into the winter period with car prep and testing on the horizon…. But that’s after some well needed rest for the team!

🏁 2025 BRSCC MX5 CLUBMAN CHAMPIONSHIP🏁

First year in cars comes to a close, and it has been my favourite year of racing yet. I’ve grown a lot, on and off the track, met some great people, and made memories that will last a lifetime.

P5 in the championship
6 Podiums 📈
2 fastest laps 🟣
Top Rookie 🏆

This year wouldn’t have been possible without some incredible people. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and believing in me.

Thank you to @jamesrobertsphoto for capturing these moments all season long. Great shots, a few of them might have to be hung up 📸

Thank you to Paul, Mark, and everyone at @officialnhamotorsport for working tirelessly all season to get me out on track. Great bunch of guys and we always maximised the package we had at all race weekends.

Thank you to my teammates for all the laughs this year. Even when things went horribly wrong, we always found a way to make it less painful (kind of). Good times!

Thank you @npad56 for the support this season. Working with him has made the transition from karts to cars a lot smoother. This progression wouldn’t have been possible without him. Top guy who will teach you how to be quick anything 💪🏼

Thank you to my parents for making this dream of racing cars come true. From travelling from abroad for the races to following closely when at the track, this all wouldn’t be possible without them 🙌🏼

Thank you to @bw.motorsport.performance for the support this year. It’s been great working with them and one to watch for anyone coming up in motorsport looking for an edge on other drivers 🤝

Thank you to my partner @bethanyywatters for being there for me all year. These performances wouldn’t have been possible without her, and it means the world that I was able to share these moments with the person I love. Next step is to get you out on track in the MX5 ❤️

Plans for next year are in the making, but I hope to see all of these legends soon.

What a thrilling weekend at Croft for the penultimate round!

A tricky one at times for @andi.istrate saw him provide 2 hard fought drives for some good points scoring, he will be looking to go out with a personal best result at Silverstone.

2 stellar performances for @harrisonleachracing saw him as a strong contender to the back end of the top 10 in only his first ever race weekend! Not bad for someone who only learned how to drive a car 3 months ago! Definitely a star of the future! He will be looking to challenge the top 5 next time out!

We now head towards the final round of the 2025 season in a year which seems like it has flown by… lets go out strong 💪🏻

A Cadwell weekend to remember… Season best results for @andi.istrate after an incredible drive in race 1 saw him rewarded with P6 and an eventful red flag affected race 2 finishing in P8! Next up for Andi is a trip further North to Croft in a months time for the penultimate round of 2025!

Thinking back to our weekend at Oulton Park, a promising way to kick off the second half of our year with @andi.istrate! A personal best Qualifying for him inside the top 10 and some great racing back through the field after tricky starts to both races. He continues his rate of progress at Cadwell Park next month!

First half of the 2025 season is done and dusted! A great few months of on track action seeing @andi.istrate make his debut in the MX-5 Clubman championship and already showing plenty of potential for the future, he’ll be looking to make a big leap forwards in our new build making its debut next time out at Oulton Park!

For the more eagle eyed out there we’ve also had a new driver join us for testing over the last couple of months. We can’t wait to see what this new young driver is capable of after showing incredible pace in his first time in a geared vehicle… but that’s all to be revealed later in this second half of the year when he makes his highly anticipated debut 😏

For now have some highlight pictures of what’s been a wonderful first half 🏎️💨
