April '08- PBMW spirit is strong- engine changes at race meets are sometimes seen, but its not often you see a crowd of competitors changing and engine for a fellow competitor. 

What happens when the man supplying the meat for the BBQ blows his engine whilst testing the day before race day?

Simple, when everyone arrives later that day, someone brings an engine with them and all the drivers dig in to get the old engine out and a new one in.

Those that can do, and everyone else gathers around passing spanners and beer (thats truley the important job).

And 3 hours after the engine arrives, the cars up and running and being tested around the paddock.

Its times like this that make us all realise that we are all part of something special



March '08- 48 cars to start and race at Brands Hatch round on 26/27th April.

The 48 cars entered for the race meeting will bve divided into 3 groups, with each group racing the others once, giving all 48 drivers 2 races each.

The same system maybe used at future events

DECEMBER '07- Partridge, Autosports 4th best club driver of 2008. Awarded for his 6 wins in 2007. 

2007 Champion Andrew Partridge was named in 4th position in Autosport magazine's list of Top 10 drivers of 2007.

Quote from Autosport:- Invariably in the leading pack, Partridge really hit his stride in the second half of the year and finished the season with four straight wins. His final tally of six victories from 11 rounds was outstanding given that no one else won more than twice in one of club racing's most competitive championships.
