Well fans, you’ll no doubt notice we’ve been mostly silent this year, but all that is about to change! Partly to blame has been the Team Neaves Shop, we have literally been inundated with one order… Welcome to the Silverstone Pre-Race Report.
The year has begun with mixed fortunes in the Team Neaves Camp, Ollie has so far kept a clean sheet bar a couple of points where Simon and Rob took the front grid slots at Oulton. Can anybody stop him?
Ollie is driving superbly at the moment but progress is also due to our F-Duct system, simply when Ollie or Blaine covers an air hole with their right knee a middle finger is shown to the cars behind.
Blaine has so far failed to match Ollie for pace this season, but we believe this is down to setup. Blaine is certainly keen to close the gap, not least because Ollie can no longer fit his head into the family home.
Most of you will have seen the various videos from Brands which make for exciting viewing, to quote Vic Reeves (Barry Holmes) “those boys weren’t giving each other much room!” But rest assured, the drivers involved have kissed and made up…
On a personal note the banter this season has been great so far, as well as the pre-race beering sessions with Jonesey, Pete, Alan F and the V8 boys, long may it continue.
Looking ahead Ollie will be the only on-track representative for TNR at Silverstone. We’re down for testing on the Friday so we’ll hopefully see a few of you then.
The usual drivers seem to be attending with the exception of Rob Spencer, who has taken some time out to concentrate on Pimping Ho’s in his Well-Gangster Range Rover. Simon Cripps switches to group B in his mighty 4pot, which should be challenging Ollie for a win if it holds together. Barry “Vic Reeves” Holmes stays true to his beloved ‘mowta’ and remains in group C, Barry is particularly pleased with the absence of king-of-the-road-hogs-Blaine as this means he’ll be able to indulge in the usual gentlemanly racing; where the faster cars are let through by default 
Alan Brooke has been on many-a wanted list lately after robbing local stables of their horses. Rumour has it he has managed to house up to 30 in the metro, which is astonishing given that it already housed 160.
John Moon makes his customary Silverstone appearance, beware MGB drivers, some say he likes to take little chunks out of your rear valences… bring plenty of Gaffer Tape…
Yet again the scene is set for an exciting second half of the season and we’ll attempt to keep the site up to date from this point forward! Videos are available from the right side of the page and photos will follow shortly…
See you soon
