No Comments 
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. (more…)

There have been mixed reactions in the Team Neaves camp to this years Silverstone meet, which was quite eventful for us!
It promised to be an interesting spectacle with a few old faces back on the track, such as Andy Young (MGC) and Paul Rayment (MGF Cup). With the weather bright and breezy and Blaine with his new slicks on the three cars headed out for Qualifying on a dry track.
On the first lap Blaine got a puncture, which turned out to be one of the new tyre valves for the in car pressure monitor, which had come undone. Which left the Blaine’s Boys (even the commentators call us that now!) to find their own way round. The lap times were tumbling from an initial lap of 1.51 – only 10 seconds off the pace!! By lap 4 both were in the 1.48’s when lightning struck the number 3 car of Dan, when the car died changing into fifth. It turned out to be a electrical plug for the ignition which had popped of somehow – very odd considering it’s got a metal retaining clip! Ollie shaved more time off to qualify 13th on a low 1.47, with Dan in 21st on a 1.48 and Blaine 43rd after completing the mandatory 3 laps on his flat rubber.

Hello race fans, we hope you like the new site, and would welcome any comments / suggestions you have to improving it further. 
To follow on from the Brands Race report we have made a discovery… We realised the slick tyres on Blaine’s (7) car were pretty worn, mind you he had been running them for about a year!! So some nice new rubber has been wrapped around the wheels in readiness for Silverstone. Perhaps that could explain why he was slower than last year? (more…)

Silverstone | Round 4
Blaine qualified 5th, not helped by a characteristically wild driver! Unfortunately the car was damaged after practice, finished the race in 5th. (more…)
