New race team takes shape

Thanks to the invaluable support of long time client and friend Chris Bialan, my dream of setting up a properly organised and equiped race team is now becomming a reality. The team will be called "Piranha Motorsport" reflecting Chris's original team name concept. After 20 years of coaching drivers, building successful race cars for myself and others and then helping every single race team I've worked with turn into the dominant force in their chosen categorey, the timing could'nt be better.

Based in Bristol just 10 minutes off both the M4 and M5 motorways, we are equiped to provide the full motorsport package from chassis set up, to driver coaching, to upgrades and to repairs, infact you think of it we can cater for it, on any car type. On site we have a body shop, metal fabricators, auto electricians and a range specialist engineers to ensure we can provide the service I believe a decent race team should.

Regular staffing comes from enthusiastic professional motorsports experienced people. Most of the crew have official motorsport engineering qualifications to add to their backgrounds working with other race teams.

Chris and I have invested in a Lotus 211 GT4 Supersport car to act as our PR and prove what we preach tool in terms of preparation standard. You'll be seeing us in Lotus Elise Trophy races and British GT in the comming months along with entries into other series that car is eligeable. Long term we are planning on building cars to race in the new for 2010 Porsche Boxster series along with supporting cars in the Lotus Elise Trophy.

Our goal will be as my goals have always been, to achieve regular success in what ever we enter.
