Welcome back to the Peter Best Insurance Challenge for what promises to be another fantastic year of racing. The Team Neaves crew has been working feverishly hard over the winter to increase the size of their beer bellies, in pre-season girth-testing the hard work seems to be paying off…
The list of group C reprobates entrants has changed a bit this year, but still looks very well represented when compared with recent years. It seems the usual suspects will be there for the season opener, the V8 clan and Simon in the mighty midget followed by 2/3rds of Team Neaves.

Although it doesn’t look like it we’ve been hard at work prepping the car for paint, and phase 1 of the painting has begun! After profiling the rear arches and making the terribly moulded fibreglass rear valance fit the whole car has been sanded to within an inch of its life, and has claimed the fingerprints on my right hand as compensation. Today saw the primer sprayed on to the car, all done in our humble little home garage…
