Racing History 
Mark has been involved in Motorsport from an early age (mostly Rallying & Sprinting). But then he built and raced a Morgan Plus 8 in the 1990's - competing in:
  • The 750 Motor Club Roadgoing Roadsports
  • The Morgan Motor Challenge

 

It was during this time that Mark and Matthew became friends... Initially working together on '99 OK', Mark became Matthew's Race Engineer. They formed a partnership, both jointly owning and racing a TVR Tuscan... Building on their strengths, Matthew concentrated on the driving and the design and construction elements (known as the arty bits!) whilst Mark took over engineering & mechanical duties.
