Background
I spent 10 years in engineering until I was 26 years old.
This it put me in good stead to set up my own business DCY (Distinctive Cars York) along with George (other partner in business).
We specialise in Japanese import performance vehicles .
I have always had a passion for Japanese sports cars and all motorsport, this is what lead me to get involved in Time Attack .
After doing my first series of Time Attack in 2007 I was addicted instantly , the atmosphere is electric and everyone is so helpful and friendly and the organisation is second to none .
I am some what a novice when it comes to circuit racing , as i said earlier, the 2007 series was the first i had ever done, prior to this I had only ever done one track day at the Croft Circuit.
It wasn't a good year for me last year after a few failures and not much seat time in my car , this year DCY have done some serious development and we know the car is capable of winning club challenge it just all depends on me and if I can hook up with this light weight big bhp beast !
