A typically paparazzi style flash of light bulbs and a buzz of expectation from several waiting reporters greeted Windrush racing driver hopefuls. They were expertly put through their paces by GT and Le Mans driver Calum Lockie in a brand new XKR Jaguar.

All who attended agreed the event was professionally run and a real eye opener as to the level of commitment of the Windrush team. Better still was the food one visitor commented "lunch time there was silence!".

With the correct backing it’s all possible”.


Elias Elia and Peter Ward Directors of Racing Technologies (partners to Windrush Motorsport in this venture) commented "From the results we expect to run strongly in the BMW Championship and be competitive in the EERC championship during 2007. If we can achieve that we will have a firm foundation for an assault on the British GT title in 2008”.
