…COMPETITION
2007: In October 2006 I purchased the Van Diemen RF87 that I will be racing in this year’s “Castle Combe Formula Ford 1600 Championship”. When I purchased the car it was in reasonable condition. I decided that it would be a nice little winter project to strip it and turn it into a nice, smart car for me to compete in. What started as “a nice little project” sooned turned into a bit more than that as I kept finding thnigs that I felt could be improved upon or smartened up! The car will be run and developed during 2007 by a team consisting of myself, my Dad and friends aka PB Performance.
The aim is to achieve a “Pre 90″ class win by the end of the season!
