Our primary form of motor sport will be split between drag racing in the UK and land speed record racing in the USA.
When racing in America we are a combined team with Pro-Per Racing who are a very experienced and successful
land speed team with a number of records to their name.

Ian is the primary driver and designer of the car. He currently holds a licence with the Southern California Timing Association to compete at all land speed record events throughout the USA. The licensing runs for this were carried out at the famous Bonneville Salt Flats in 2007. Although Ian has been primarily a drag racer since the age of 18, land speed record drives are a natural progression to this form of high octane motor sport.
Steve Shoobridge brings to the team a combination of skills and
knowledge. His ability to organise is second to none and when that is
combined with his vast knowledge of land speed record racing
throughout the world it means that the team will always be in a position
to have and know exactly what it needs at all times.
Steve Metcalf is the teams website specialist, keeping the website up to date, online and ready to view at the click of a button.
The other part of his role in the team is dealing with the
photography of the car, both off track and on track,
using his experience and knowledge in
photography to compliment the car.
