THE WORD FROM...
It’s incredible to say we’ve already reached the midway point of the 2025 season. It’s been a whirlwind start to the year and I couldn’t be prouder of we’ve has achieved so far. From the garage to the grid, the commitment, passion, and relentless drive of every team member is delivering results — and the energy within the camp has never been stronger.
As I write this, shortly after Round 4 at Thruxton, Bobby and Asha are topping the championship! — a brilliant reflection of their talent, composure, and the incredible support behind them. Every lap they complete is powered not just by their own determination, but by the tireless work of our outstanding crew, led by Al. Al and the entire technical team have been phenomenal — preparing, maintaining, and adapting our cars to perform at their best, week in and week out. This is never easy, and we’re always grateful and appreciative of the long hours and meticulous work put in by the entire crew.
Of course, motorsport comes with its highs and lows. Paul and Aaron, and Noah and Caleb, have been plagued by bad luck in recent rounds — but this hasn’t dampened their spirits. They’ve shown immense resilience and professionalism, keeping their heads high and pushing forward with real determination. This has meant that despite technical challenges and unfortunate incidents on track, they’ve pushed hard, secured podiums, and continue to show us what incredible potential they have.
It’s been a real pleasure getting out and about with our sponsors — visiting their teams, showcasing our cars, setting up meet and greets with our drivers, and cruciallyconnecting in person. These moments remind us just how powerful our partnerships are, and how together we’re making a meaningful impact in motorsport and beyond.
To all our supporters — whether you cheer from the stands, follow our journey online, or back us through sponsorship — thank you. Your belief in our mission powers everything we do.
There’s still plenty of racing left this year, and we’re already hard at work behind the scenes, planning for 2026 and beyond. We’re building towards a bigger future, working to secure the budget for a move towards GT3 — taking us ever closer to our long-term goal: competing at Le Mans.
If you haven’t already, make sure to follow us on social media for behind-the-scenes updates, race action, and all the latest news. Better yet, come and see us at a race — we’d love to welcome you into the paddock and share the journey with you.

SO FAR THE SEASON
As we hit the halfway point in the 2025 season, there’s everything to fight for, with podiums secured, points climbing, and most excitingly –a strong potential for a championship win.
We’re fielding six drivers across three cars in the Britcar Endurance Championship and just about everything that could happen has happened so far!
We’ve had thrilling highs and crushing lows – but that’s exactly what this sport is all about. With four rounds down, the fight is well and truly on. Asha and Bobby are in championship contention, topping the championship as this ezine is published, whilst all three pairings continue to push hard, supported by our outstanding crew.
Still to come, we have Donington in August, then we head back to Snetterton, on to Oulton Park, and finish with the iconic Brands Hatch Night Race.
THE SEASON SO FAR
• Paul Fullick & Aaron Morgan charged from P4 in qualifying to take an epic P1 finish in race 1. Sadly, a post race pit stop penalty demoted them to P2.
• Asha Silva & Bobby Trundley also smashed it in the BMW, taking P1 in class, while Noah Cosby & Caleb McDuff brought home a solid P4.
• In race 2, Noah and Caleb came back strong to take P2 in the McLaren, whilst Asha and Bobby followed up their earlier win with a hard-fought P3.
• Sadly, a heavy incident for Paul in Race 2 forced a DNF for the #68 McLaren, but thankfully he was given the all-clear — a testament to his strength and the safety of our cars.
• Asha & Bobby claimed P1 in class after a stellar drive from P3 on the grid.
• Paul & Aaron delivered a clean race to finish P3, while Noah & Caleb recovered from early contact to take P4.
• Off the track, we hosted over 120 guests at the BRDC clubhouse and raised £1,200 for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People — a proud moment for the whole team.
R3 SNETTERTON
• A tough qualifying saw Aaron and Paul start from P4, whilst Noah and Caleb were forced to start from the back after a technical issue meant they couldn’t complete qualifying. Bob and Asha had a better start with a P2 in qualifying.
• An incident in race 1 meant Aaron came off the track, taking them out for the rest of the day. Thankfully Aaron was not injured.
• Despite setbacks, Noah & Caleb stormed through the field in Race 1, with Noah making up 9 positions in his opening stint before Caleb took over to finish P4. In Race 2, Noah received contact from another car, pushing him to the back of the grid. Despite this, he gave everything, clocking one of the fastest lap times of the race to hand over to Caleb in P3, who pushed on to take P2 in Race 2.
• Asha & Bobby battled hard in Race 1, also dealing with a puncture before taking P3. They crossed the line first in Race 2, but a pit lane infringement dropped them to P2.
• A huge team effort in tough conditions showed our resilience at its best.
THRUXTON UPS AND DOWNS DEFINED THIS ROUND A HIGH-SPEED, HIGH-STAKES WEEKEND
• With no pre-race testing, the team leaned heavily on sim work and preparation.
• Asha & Bobby took P3 in Race 1, then dominated Race 2 to claim another P1 in class, keeping them firmly in title contention.
• Noah & Caleb impressed on their Thruxton debut with a P4, before a wiring issue sadly forced a DNF in Race 2.
• Unfortunately, Aaron and Paul were unable to compete due to the damage caused to the McLaren at Snetterton.
A WHIRLWIND START
Team Principal Mike Scudamore: “What a whirlwind start to the season. We definitely haven’t had it smooth sailing so far, with more than our fair share of mechanical gremlins and incidents on track.
“What is extremely positive, is the way in which our drivers and crew have handled this, never backing down, never letting bad luck get in the way, and continuing to push through, no matter what.
“And it’s paid off. We’ve seen some fantastic driving from all 6 drivers. Special shout out to Noah and Caleb who have showcased the most amazing comeback drives, most exceptionally at Snetterton where we saw Noah weave his way up the pack from the back of the grid after being clipped by another car.
“Both Paul and Aaron have had some significant on track incidents this season, which shows the high risk nature of our sport. I’m so pleased that neither were hurt and also that they have returned to the track as confident and eager as ever to win. After starting the season so spectacularly with a P1 in race 1, I know we’ll see them back on the podium soon.
“Bobby and Asha have received unfortunate penalties but their relentless push to win has kept them at the top of their game and we’re so proud that they’re sitting at the top of the championship table as I write. Now, our focus is all about maintaining that lead and working together to give them the best possible chance of taking the trophy.”
Team BRIT & Brit Insurance
In late 2016, we saw one of Team BRIT’s drivers interviewed on TV. Their ambition, passion –and of course the Brit name – resonated strongly with us. A few months later, we launched a supportive partnership with Team BRIT; so our employees had the chance to get to know the team and get involved.

“OH MY GOD I’VE ACTUALLY DONE IT”
In our last ezine, we shared the exciting news that Team BRIT Ambassador Anji Silva-Vadgama was set to take on the London Marathon.
Anji has multiple sclerosis and is a former Team BRIT driver. She stopped driving due to medical reasons, but is still a huge part of the Team BRIT family, not least because her wife, Asha is now a team driver!
In April, Anji took to the start line of the world’s most famous marathon, ready to take on the grueling 26.2 mile course alongside more than 56,000 runners and walkers.
Despite dealing with the daily challenges of her MS, which means she has pain in her legs most of the time, Anji did fantastically well, completing the course under her target time of 9 hours, using her rollator walking aid, which was supplied by Assist Mobility. She did the whole thing to support the charity MS-UK, for which she raised more than £4,000, and was supported throughout by her friends Darren and Nicky, who walked with her and are creating a mini-documentary on her efforts through their company, Scruffy Bear Media.
The marathon came after months of dedicated training at home using her treadmill and getting out and about with the rollator, which prepared her for the huge task ahead. With all this training under her belt, she says she didn’t feel nervous.
Anji explains: “I saw it as something to put my mind towards. The weather was good which I was happy with – my MS is good in the heat. We were really well supported by the charity and event organisers, so we had our own start area, away from the crowds, which was really close to the start line.
“The support from spectators was amazing. It definitely pays to have your name on your jersey, and I had lots of older people with walking frames cheering me on when they saw me with mine.
“It was so nice seeing my family and friends around the course too. My best friend surprised me by being there. Then I had my brother and sister-in-law and niece, and of course Asha. My sister-in-law actually stayed with me from mile 19 which was great, as I soon had to leave Nicky and Darren who had to stop to tend to Nicky’s feet!
“There were definitely low points too. At one point I had an excruciating pain in my leg, so just had to stop and take a break for a while, and sit on my rollator. I could have stopped completely, but reminded myself that six years ago I was paralysed and couldn’t walk for weeks. So I knew I had to buckle up and keep going!
“When I eventually crossed the finish line, I just thought, ‘oh my god, I’ve actually done it!’
Anji has already registered for next year’s event and in July she competed in a 10k, finishing it in under her goal time of 2 hours. Her advice for anyone in a similar position, is to have a go. She says: “I would say, just go for it. If there’s anything holding you back, feel free to reach out to me and we can have a chat – I could even be your support walker!”
DAYTONA TEAM BRIT &
THE PERFECT PARTNERSHIP
Daytona Motorsport is one of our longest-standing supporters and has a fascinating history with our team and with Team Principal, Mike Scudamore.
Mike has known Daytona CEO, Charles Graham for almost 30 years. Mike joined Daytona Milton Keynes as a kart track marshal after finishing university, and so began his career in motorsport, but also his connection to Charles and Daytona.
We caught up with Charles to hear more about the history between us, why he is such a loyal supporter and his hopes and aspirations for our team.
You’ve worked with Mike for almost 30 years now, and clearly both have a shared passion for motorsport - what else do you think has worked so well in your working relationship?
He was absolutely fantastic and such an innovative manager at Daytona Milton Keynes. We used to call him ‘shiny’ because he always presented the venue so beautifully. But he was also a great ideas man… he’s the reason why Milton Keynes is setup how it is today – he designed the interior of the pavilion to include a podium, bar and briefing room and had it built – it used to be a Thai restaurant!
He’s always stayed loyal to the company — and I’m proud to call him a friend as well as part of the Daytona family. His two sons have also started their own careers with us and isn’t that a wonderful, thing? You watch them working in the pit lane, it’s just like watching a young Mike back there again.
We’re always looking for ways to collaborate and support each other — that mutual respect is what makes it work.
You were one of the earliest supporters of KartForce, giving the team track time and assisting with hand controls. What was it about the charity and what it was doing that made you so keen to get involved?
Actually, the link with hand-controls started much earlier than KartForce – back in the mid-90s. We had a bunch of exservicemen regulars who required them, we bought some controls and KartForce evolved out of that.
As a cornerstone of British grassroots motorsport, we believe inclusivity has to be more than just a buzzword — everyone deserves the opportunity to get behind the wheel.
KartForce is a fantastic charity. They’re empowering people who’ve selflessly served our country. To be honest, it’s an honour to support them — it’s the least we can do to thank those troops for their service.
Do you remember when you first spotted Bobby and knew he had a talent? What was it that stood out?
I first became aware of Bobby when he was racing in our DMAX National Championships as a teenager. He’d already been making waves in our junior events — but here he was, going head-to-head with our most experienced adult drivers... and beating them. He went on to win the championship five times…
The bottom line is — if you’re good enough, you get noticed. Bobby had that spark early on, and that’s exactly the kind of talent we aim to nurture at Daytona. You’ve stood by Bobby year after year, why?
At our core, we’re a grassroots motorsport academy — and Bobby is one of our standout success stories. From racing here as a child, to competing in a McLaren in British GT and the Britcar Endurance Championship – what a story!
But it’s a two-way street. He’s always quick to credit Daytona with nurturing his talent, and he gives back — whether it’s racing with us again, mentoring the next generation, or simply being a brilliant ambassador for the brand. That kind of loyalty and passion deserves continued support.
You drove with Bobby for the first time at Snetterton a few years back, how did that feel, and how has it felt to see him progress so well to GT4 racing with Team BRIT?
It was my first time in a GT4 car and I’d never driven on the new Snetterton circuit – and we’re going out on the day with no practice whatsoever, but we came away with a good result. I can’t remember where we came, but we did really well. As I drove back to the garage after the race, every single one of the crew came out of the garage and clapped us in on the pit wall. That was such a lovely moment to share with Bobby.
And now, watching him progress into GT4 racing with Team BRIT? It’s incredible. He’s not just quick he’s mature, focused, and relentless in his pursuit of improvement.
What’s on the horizon for Daytona?
Inclusivity remains at the heart of what we do. One of our proudest achievements in recent years has been the Jamie Chadwick Series. There’s never been a truly successful female-only karting
championship in the UK — until now.
In partnership with Jamie — who’s been absolutely phenomenal — we’ve built a series that’s seen over 150 women and girls compete in just two years. We’re committed to growing that even further.
We’re also bringing back our DMAX National Championships — the same series that helped launch Bobby’s career. After an extended hiatus following COVID, it’s returned in 2025, and we’re planning to expand it even more in 2026.
We’re always focusing on technical innovation – we’ve just brought a new fleet of DMAX karts to Sandown Park and revitalised the ones at Tamworth.
Our Driver Information System came out last year and provides live race data –we’re in the process of upgrading those and investigating new timing systems for improved driver insights. As a company, tech is really important.
And who knows… there might even be a new venue or two on the cards. We’re always in discussions.
What are your hopes and predictions for Team BRIT?
First and foremost — success on track. You’ve got a hugely talented roster of drivers, many of whom we’ve worked with and supported. The cars are phenomenal and they’re racing in the right championship.
Secondly — keep unearthing new talent. Whether it’s at Daytona or somewhere else, there’s always another Bobby Trundley out there, waiting to be discovered.
And finally — long-term sustainability. Funding is a constant challenge in motorsport. But Team BRIT’s values are powerful, and your story is unique. By continuing to push boundaries, telling that story, and including those who are too often overlooked, you’ll have every chance of building lasting partnerships and attracting the sponsors you deserve.
What I do know is that, with Mike at the helm they’ll be fine. From the outside they seem to be such a well-run team. And we’re going to continue supporting them.

“HE’S STILL
ALIVE”: A MOTHER’S JOURNEY THROUGH GRIEF, HOPE, AND THE LIFECHANGING IMPACT OF TEAM BRIT
Noah Cosby is now in his third season of driving with our team. From the outset, he has shown incredible pace, potential and a massive desire to learn and to win.
Itwas onlyfouryears agothat he had an accident on his dirt bikethat changed his lifeforever. But it also changedthe life ofhis parents.We spokewith his mum, Candywho shared herearlymemories ofNoah and his lovefor sport,what happened onthat dayin March 2021, and herrelentless hopethat Noah mayone daybe out ofhiswheelchair.
Noah was just 9 months old when he started walking and only two when he was riding a skateboard. From the get go, he was physically active, aware of his body and mastering things beyond his years.
Bikes were next, and Noah spent hours riding ‘Steady Eddie’, his balance bike, hurtling down mountains when on holiday with his family when he was just four. His love of speed and mastering machines was evident soon after. He would ride a battery powered John Deere tractor around the fields near their home, taking corners like a racing driver, and when he was just 3 and a half, Candy and her husband Ben bought Noah his first petrol quad bike.
Candy explains: “It scared the living daylights out of me seeing him on that bike. I remember when Ben took him out onto the field for the first time, I was in the kitchen and could hear what was happening, Noah had started riding the bike and just held tight on to the throttle. He was speeding across the field, accelerating full pace. Even then, when he was only 5, he had the foresight to let go, so it came to a stop and he fell over. Straight away, he was back on.”
Before long, Noah became bored of the dirt bike riding as it wasn’t enough. He wanted to go further and became completely passionate about jumping, watching the Red Bull games and aspiring to be like freestyle riders such as Travis Pastrana.
“Freestyle motocross is all about the tricks and showmanship” Candy says, “it’s using your body, almost a mix between gymnastics and motocross.”
Noah taught himself how to weld, bought plans online and built a freestyle international competition ramp with his friend. At the age of 14, he was riding 75ft jumps and knew he wanted to pursue this as a career in the US.
THE DAY IT ALL CHANGED
On the 7th March 2021, Noah was due to return to boarding school, having been off for a long time due to the Covid pandemic. His friends were at his house and he began to ask Candy if he could go and ride. It was a beautiful day for March and the weather conditions had meant he hadn’t been able to ride for some time.
Because of this, and because he was returning to school, Noah was being cautious, so pulled his jump ramp closer to his landing to make it easier. This was what led to his accident.
Candy explains: “Noah took the standard 75ft jump as normal, his body went into auto pilot and treated it as being the same length as usual. When he was in mid-air he realized what he’d done and that he was going to over shoot it. He had to decide – throw himself off the bike or land with it. He chose the latter, as he thought it would absorb some of the impact. He landed it, but the power was too much and went through his body, causing an injury at T6 and T7.”
An air ambulance was called and could be heard overhead when Ben and Candy arrived, but instead of landing it got diverted to another emergency, meaning Noah had to travel a long way in an ambulance with a spinal cord injury.
Candy said: “I wasn’t crying, I was in shock. Your survival mode takes over. I was also in denial, I held on to what the paramedics were telling us – that it’s likely only bruising.
“We eventually arrived at the Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and we watched as he was put into an MRI machine. As a parent, you’re just in this shocked, survival state mode. But you have to be there for your child. It was horrific. They came out and told us his back was broken and you can’t really take it in, it’s awful.”
After a 9 hour surgery, Noah was placed in intensive care, with Candy and Ben by his side. Candy said: “ You don’t sleep, you don’t eat. It’s impossible to look after yourself. You can’t, not think about what your child is going through.
“You grieve for the life you thought your child was going to have. He wanted to pursue his FMX dreams, so knowing it had been taken away from him, was one of the hardest things to deal with.
“We also didn’t know what the outcome was going to be. No one ever said to him, “you won’t be able to walk again”. Every spinal cord injury is so different, they say it’s like a fingerprint. It can move up or move down, and his injury was incomplete, meaning his spinal cord hadn’t been severed, it had been stretched.
“Noah coped amazingly and only ever cried once. All we ever did was hold on to hope. I still hold that in my heart and don’t accept he’ll be in a wheelchair forever. I want more. He wants more. There’s no treatment yet, but I do have faith that medical science will find a cure in Noah’s lifetime.
“I also knew that in the future there would be light. One of the mantras I had in my mind, was “he’s still alive.”
A NEW LIFE
Candy and Ben had to sell the 500-yearold farmhouse they lived in, which was completely unsuitable for a wheelchair, with small rooms, steps everywhere and the only bathroom upstairs. They moved closer to his school, and he returned to finish his A- Levels, which Noah completed brilliantly, achieving an A* and 2 B grades.
Candy explains how important Noah’s friends were in his recovery: “His friends were so amazing, they came to see him at hospital, then would come and spend the whole weekend with him at home. We had a house full of teenagers all the time.
“Everyone at school was very supportive. Some teachers didn’t know what to say, but most of the kids treated him like Noah. They made light of it. The last thing anyone who is disabled wants is to be pitied. They’d do stupid things - he fell out of his chair quite a few times. They’re the best medicine for him.”
In 2018, Noah signed for Team BRIT, having met GT4 driver Aaron Morgan at the Matt Hampson (Hambo) Foundation, where Noah had been receiving physical therapy.
Candy says: “I actually don’t know what we’d have done without Team BRIT and the Hambo Foundation. They’ve been monumental for his mental health, his recovery, and for us.
“If he’s ok, we’re ok. So when he’s happy, we’re happy. I think that’s hard for him – our happiness is dependent on his happiness, and that’s a lot to put on a child, but it’s hard for him to understand that your children are everything.”
Despite an ‘adrenaline’ sport being the cause of Noah’s disability, Candy never had a fear around him returning to racing. She says “of course it’s in the back of the mind, but the joy he receives from doing a sport that is risky, far outweighs the worry of something going wrong.
“It came just at the right time. I think we would be in a very different place without him having motorsport. It fits so well to his skill set because he’s very good at getting the best from himself.
“Now, it’s a tightrope of allowing him to be independent and giving him support. We try not to be too ‘in his face’ about it. He’s always been independent, so we try not to over step the mark, but we’re always there when he needs us.
“Every moment I see him get into that car and drive away, I’m filled with emotion and pride and I’m so proud. Looking ahead – I see hope.
“And my hope for him is that he achieves everything he wants to, that doors open, that the timing is right and that it creates a joy-filled future.”

OUR SUPPORT OF HEARING DOGS CHARITY
GT4 driver Caleb McDuff, along with our entire team, has proudly raised funds for the charity ‘Hearing Dogs for Deaf People’
On Saturday 4th May, we came together with sponsors and supporters at Silverstone, to raise funds and awareness for the charity, which trains dogs to alert Deaf people to important and lifesaving sounds they would otherwise miss.
We were competing in Round 2 of the Britcar Endurance Championship at Silverstone, and used the opportunity to promote the charity, ably assisted by Zach Allen and his hearing dog Echo, and charity representatives Jo Wengler and Vicky Ryan.
More than 120 guests attended to enjoy race hospitality and kindly donated to the team’s fundraising efforts through donations and purchases of the team’s old tyres, which can be upcycled into coffee tables and planters. Almost £1200 was raised and we continued to raise funds for the charity throughout May.
Team BRIT principal Mike Scudamore said: “It was a real pleasure to welcome Echo and Zach from Hearing Dogs for Deaf People to our race at Silverstone. Caleb’s dad, Ian, introduced us to the charity and was keen for us to help them. We were immediately keen to support this, with the charity and everything it does having a special place in the hearts of Caleb and his family.
“It was no surprise that our sponsors and guests were super keen to help, and we’re delighted to have raised so much money for the charity to help it deliver its fantastic work.”
Vicky Ryan, Community Fundraising Manager at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, said: “We were honoured to be invited to Silverstone to celebrate the incredible achievement of Caleb and his teammates at the Endurance Championships. It was a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of our work among Team BRIT’s sponsors and supporters.
“We’re so grateful to Team BRIT for choosing us as their charity of the month and for raising such an impressive amount in just one day. These vital funds will help us train more hearing dog puppies who will go on to change the lives of deaf people by giving them more independence, confidence, and connection to the world around them.”

KARTING SHOWDOWN AT
It was ‘every sponsor for themselves’ at our sponsors’ karting event at Daytona Milton Keynes on Wednesday 14th May.
25 teams of 4 drivers headed to the track to take part in a 2hr race, which also saw Team BRIT drivers and crew going back to their roots and into karts.
Daytona Motorsport have invested in hand controls for karts to be kept on site, ready for drivers who need this technology to enable them to race, so all Team BRIT drivers were welcomed and able to compete.
There was everything to contend for with the ‘Karcher Cup’ up for grabs for the winning team, along with prizes for the fastest three teams, provided by long-term team sponsor, Karcher UK.
The fastest teams on the night were: 1. ATL Fuel Cells, 2. Racelogic, 3. MFX Wraps
All were presented with their Karcher prizes in the podium ceremony.
We were also proud to continue our fundraising for charity, ‘Hearing Dogs for Deaf People’, via a raffle offering guests the chance to win a watch provided by sponsor, Christoper Ward. Almost £600 was raised, which will be added to the fantastic £1200 raised at Silverstone in May.
Team Principal Mike Scudamore said: “These karting events have become staples of the Team BRIT calendar and are always such a brilliant way to bring our sponsors together, to say thank you for the support they continue to provide us, and to give them a taste of life as a racing driver with some friendly on-track competition.
“A massive congratulations to our podium teams who were super impressive on track. I’d also like to say thank you to Karcher and Christopher Ward for supplying our prizes for the night, and for everyone who participated in our raffle to help us raise even more funds for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.
“Let’s do it all again next year!”
THE VIEW FROM SPA
BY AARON MORGAN
Ever since I first raced at Spa Francorchamps in the 2022 British GT Championship, I’ve been itching to go back. There’s just something about the place—its history, the atmosphere, the sheer scale of it. In 2023, I was lucky enough to race there again with Team BRIT as part of the McLaren Trophy Europe Championship, which was on the support bill during the 24 Hours of Spa weekend. It’s such a good weekend I had to go back this year, even as a spectator
The 24 Hours of Spa is no small affair. The grid for the main race this year had 75 GT3 cars. Seeing that many machines fly through Eau Rouge on lap one of the race—one of the most iconic corners in motorsport—was very special.
I travelled over by road, doing the full tour—Channel Tunnel on the way out, ferry back. Honestly, the Channel Tunnel is brilliant. You drive straight in from the M20, the terminal has its own junction, and everything’s so streamlined. Number plate recognition, a few quick questions on a screen, and you’re on your way. Even with a delay from a train issue earlier in the day, it was all straightforward. I
grabbed breakfast in the terminal and then rolled onto the train. It’s not long— you sit in your car for about 35 minutes, and you’re in France. There’s not much to do, but the speed and simplicity make up for it.
The drive from Calais to Spa is about four hours, not far at all. I arrived early to catch the parade into Spa town. It’s a great tradition where the cars drive from the circuit into town. I made sure I got there in good time, we the town is packed with people, although I’m still kicking myself for missing a chance to say hi to Valentino Rossi. He pulled up in a WRT BMW and walked right past me into their bar café. Bit of a missed moment— he’s a massive hero of mine.
Seeing familiar faces from the team out there was so cool. It was really nice to see Raquel again. One of her earliest jobs was with us as a mechanic, now she’s engineering for Steller Motorsport—and Charlie, one of our weekend warriors, was there with Greystone. Harry, our strategy engineer also showed up too, doing some strategy work for McLaren
customer teams, and the same team that organised the McLaren Trophy Championship in 2023were still running the show. They even sorted me out with some hospitality, which was really kind of them.
My hotel was in Liège, about 40 minutes from the track. On Thursday I parked somewhere I probably shouldn’t have—it was a bit chaotic. I ended up about 500 metres from the circuit, and although the route in was downhill, getting back up it at the end of the day was tough going. A mistake on my part really—I should’ve sorted parking earlier.
As a wheelchair user, Spa is a mix of brilliant and impossible. The infrastructure in terms of paths is actually quite decent—there’s a lot of tarmac, which is a huge help. But the Spa track winds up and down the Ardennes hills, and those hills are steep. They make the track what it is—dramatic, challenging, legendary—but they also make accessibility hard work. There’s also some gravelly sections.
On the Thursday, I made the mistake of
“BEING BACK AT SPA, IT MADE ME WANT TO RACE THERE AGAIN MORE THAN EVER”
not using my electric scooter. I’ve got this setup where I attach my manual chair to my dad’s electric scooter. We used it when we walked the track back in 2022. This time, I left it behind for day one and ended up doing at least five miles on sheer arm power. By the end of the day, I was absolutely done in. From Friday onward, I didn’t make that mistake again—I brought the scooter.
That said, people were incredibly kind. On the steeper climbs, strangers often offered to help. I’m stubborn and pretty independent, so I only accept if I really need it—but it meant a lot.
There’s a good disabled viewing platform on the outside of La Source, the first corner. It’s next to concrete steps built into the bank, and while I obviously couldn’t use those, the platform itself gave a great view. The paths to the bottom of Eau Rouge, the Bus Stop chicane, Pouhon, and down to Les Combes are all tarmacked, which helps, but again—Spa is just incredibly hilly. There’s enough access to get decent views. The fan zone on the Rally Cross track was great too, with the Ferris wheel and the monster energy tent and the main stage, where DJ’s play on Saturday night, creating a proper festival vibe.
Mum and Dad told me about an alternate path up to the Eau Rouge grandstand that’s supposedly a bit gentler, but I didn’t make it up there this time.
Toilets were mostly flat and accessible in the fan zone areas, but getting to them sometimes meant tackling steep inclines and declines. So while the facilities exist, getting to them isn’t always easy.
The weather threw in some surprises. On Thursday morning, it went from dry to full-on rivers running down the paths in under 40 minutes. Luckily, from Friday through to Sunday, it was glorious.
I did make a rookie error on the way home though—I booked the last ferry of the Sunday night, which meant I had to leave the track straight after the podium ceremonies. There were roadworks, traffic, and a little bit of panic on my end, but I just made it in time. The ferry itself was very wheelchair-friendly. Once I told them I was in a wheelchair, they gave me a special hanger for your windscreen and park you close to the lifts with extra space. You’re not allowed to stay in your car on the ferry, so I transferred into my chair, got in the lift, and headed up to the deck.
Because it was so late, most things
were shut, but I found a little food stall, got myself a ham and cheese roll, and picked up a Lego model from duty free. I’ve got the bits now to build a Team BRIT McLaren model—just need to find the time.
The crossing was smooth, if dark. Once docked, it was easy to get back to the car and roll off the ferry into Dover.
Both the tunnel and the ferry are solid options for wheelchair users. The tunnel is super quick and efficient, while the ferry gives you a bit more freedom to stretch out—just plan your sailing time carefully.
Being back at Spa, watching the racing, being surrounded by the energy of the event—it made me want to race there again more than ever. I feel incredibly fortunate to have raced there in 2022 and 2023. Being on the podium in British GT, being on the top step at that track, is a memory I’ll never forget. It was such an amazing achievement for the whole team and probably one of my all time racing highlights. I’d love nothing more than to race there again. Watching from the sidelines just reminded me how special it really is.
Until next time, Spa.
TEAM PRINCIPAL A MID-SEASON CHECK-IN WITH MIKE SCUDAMORE
In his first full season as Team Principal, Mike Scudamore has had little time to settle. Between managing sponsor relationships, supporting a diverse driver lineup, and keeping a careful eye on race budgets, the job is anything but simple. We catch up with Mike mid-season to find out how things are going — from big wins to tight budgets, and everything in between.
This is your first full season as Team Principal. How has it felt to take on the role fully in charge?
It’s quite nerve-wracking, to be honest. What Dave [Player] achieved before me was significant — there’s a legacy here. That brings its own pressure. But heading into this season, we had most of our sponsors already secured, which made the run-up a little less stressful. Normally, we’re still topping up the coffers at the start of the year, so I’d say we were in reasonably good shape.
With that responsibility, do you feel pressure — knowing you’re keeping drivers racing and staff in jobs?
I do feel the pressure, yes, but I enjoy the challenge. People often talk about spinning plates — and this job is exactly that. There’s staff wages to manage, planning this season and next, driver development, sponsor engagement, rookie enquiries — it’s a long list. It’s critical we ensure our sponsors are looked after while ensuring we’re doing a fantastic job of representing them. But I like that variety. It keeps me on my toes, and I enjoy making sure all the moving parts are working together.
From the outside, being a team principal in motorsport might look quite glamorous. Is it?
Well, I was waiting for a call from Red Bull, but strangely, it never came... so here I am! But seriously, while people might think of glamour, the reality is very different. People see the racing drivers at the top of the pyramid, but underneath there is a massive support structure. In Formula 1, 1,000 people might work for two drivers. Our pyramid includes staff, sponsors, supporters, and fans — and we all pull together to go racing. I’m not turning spanners or making pit calls on race day, but I’m here to steer the ship and keep us heading in the right direction.
What’s been the biggest challenge of the season so far?
Definitely damage. We structure the team differently — we self-insure our cars to reduce the financial pressure on drivers. But that means big incidents hit our budget, and that of our drivers, hard. When drivers are involved in incidents, they have to pay for the damage. We were very lucky last year — barely any serious accidents. But by May this year, we’d already had two big shunts — one for Paul in Round 1 and another for Aaron in Round 3. If those were fixed at retail prices, we’d be talking £40–50,000 each. That’s a huge strain on our resources, especially with plenty of season still to go. But, that’s motorsport, you take the lows with the highs, you get back to work and everyone comes together to get back racing. That’s what I love about our team. There’s no negativity, only commitment and determination.
On the flip side, what’s been a highlight for you so far this year?
Pre-season testing at Portimão was fantastic. Seeing the cars roll out for the first time is always special. This year we had a brilliant videographer and photographers with us — a lot of the incredible photography and cinematography you’ve seen on our channels since then came from that trip. And it really helps when the circuit and promoter are so supportive. It makes the team look great and helps tell our story beautifully.
Another annual highlight of mine is the hospitality we offer at the BRDC Clubhouse at Silverstone. It’s a place that very few people get to visit, a private members’ club normally reserved for members, so to be allowed to utilise that facility at the home of the British Grand Prix, is fantastic. They always welcome us with open arms, and
it’s a venue and experience I really love offering to our sponsors.
What are your reflections on the current team performance and results?
It’s been a real mixed bag. Bobby and Asha are leading their class — and they’re tied for first in the overall championship, which is just fantastic. That BMW 240i was built to compete at the top of its class, and Al and the team did a fantastic job over the winter with the regulations. Bobby’s experience has helped Asha massively. We called them our “autistic super team,” and it’s proving true.
In GT4, Noah and Caleb are in their first season. They’ve had moments of brilliance, a few mistakes, and some mechanical issues. Without those setbacks, they’d be right up there too. Aaron and Paul, our most experienced pairing, have shown strong pace — they actually finished first on the road in Race 1 but got a post-race penalty for a pit stop being slightly too short. They’ve also had their fair share of accidents — one each — so I’ve said that’s enough now!
Looking ahead, what’s on the horizon for Team BRIT?
We’ve got two exciting things in the works. First, we’re hoping to race in the U.S. in November, at the Veterans Race of Remembrance in Virginia. We’re teaming up with Resilience Racing and the Skip Barber Racing School. It’s a great opportunity to take the Team BRIT story overseas, meet a new audience, and keep pushing the message globally.
Second, we’ve reaffirmed our long-term goal — to be the first all-disabled team to race in the Le Mans 24 Hours. The dream is to get a GT3 car as our next step. We want to compete at the highest level here in the UK, then in Europe, and ultimately Le Mans. It’s ambitious, sure, but it would be easy for us to say we want to race at the highest level in the UK. It’s not unachievable. A lot of our sponsors are behind us on it, and it’s a goal we’re fully committed to.
Final thoughts as you look toward the second half of the season?
We’re in a strong place, but there’s a long way to go. We’ve got the right people, the right cars, and the right attitude — now it’s about staying focused and finishing strong.
“I’M HERE TO STEER THE SHIP AND KEEP US HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION”
MIKE SCUDAMORE
with... Ed Sarley QUESTIONS FIVE
Ed Sarling joined us as a ‘truckie’ earlierthisyear. We caught up with him to find out more about his background and his role with the team.
Tell us a bit about your career background
My background is a very practical, hands-on one. I went from school to an apprenticeship in bench joinery, then learned CNC machining. Building cars and bikes was always going on in the background since I was a kid, as well as being part of the racing world in one way or another. In my 30’s I returned to education to study motorsport engineering and acquired a Bachelors and a Master’s degree. I worked in the National Motorsport Academy’s race team for several seasons, gained an adult teaching Diploma, and started tutoring full time on their degree level courses. I still work in other teams at weekends to make sure my skills are always up to date and to keep me grounded. We also still have the uni race team which is me and the other tutors. As the majority of the team is people who haven’t had much experience, we need to be ready to throw on whichever hat is needed to get a job done!
How did you get involved with Team BRIT?
I have your very own JJ to thank for that! I’ve known him many years as he used to work opposite my old flat. At the beginning of the year he called me as they were in need of a truckie and he knew I had my licence, so I agreed to do the first event while they found someone to fill the role. Oddly, when Al took my number down, we then realised we had crossed paths before having had the same make supra many moons ago and also have many mutual friends.
Half way through the year now and I’m still here and next year has already been thrown about too. Let’s be honest, so long as I can carry on working it around my other job I’m happy to stick around – everyone is great and I’ve never worked in such a well-balanced and all round mutually respectful team (Mike didn’t even pay me to say that either!)
What does a typical race weekend involve for you?
I arrive at the workshop the day before the event starts and help load anything that hasn’t been done yet. It’s then a check over the truck before hitting the road. It still gives me a real buzz driving the truck in all its livery, kids (small and big) love to wave when they realise you have racing cars on board! Once at the circuit it’s all hands on to get set up.
Throughout the weekend my primary role is to keep the wheels and tyres prepped – this includes cleaning, getting them over for fitting, keeping them warm in blankets or the oven, and also to keep the fuel dump churns ready for refuelling and make sure there is plenty of fuel in stock.
However, my key role seems to have become CBBQO (chief BBQ officer) and I wonder if that’s the only reason I’m kept around – after all, I did manage to create honey and black pepper glazed chicken from just a petrol station run!
I am also always ready to get involved with anything else that is required if the team needs me, from a wheel change in a pitstop to helping with geo setup. I stay in the truck so I am always first up so I ensure the coffee machine is on and filled before anyone arrives in the morning. When the races are running I’ll generally stay in the paddock if we haven’t got a garage, I’ll be on comms ready to run anything over should the team need it. During the final race I will start pack down. As we load everything into the truck I will make sure the kit is secure ready for the journey back to HQ.
What has been your Team BRIT highlight so far?
That’s always a hard one when there have been so many great moments. Whenever one of the cars positions well it’s always a buzz, but the more I get to know all the drivers it means that much more each time, it’s more than just a team thing, it becomes personal. One of the worst things I see in some teams is the egos, but there just aren’t any here and no one plays the blame game, it’s a really refreshing change.
What are your predictions for the rest of the season?
More chicken and burgers, maybe some ribs, probably more cakes, and I’d like to do one of my home made katsu curries for everyone. As for the racing, I don’t really do predictions because we all know how things can change in an instant, but I hope that the team continues to do well and it would be amazing to come away with more metal, which I’m confident we will. Wait, does that make it a prediction?
THE ASPIRING ROOKIES HOPING TO JOIN THE TEAM BRIT RANKS
We’re always on the look out for new, talented drivers to join our team. We’re lucky to be approached by drivers regularly, who want to know more about driving for the team and how they can get involved.
When this happens, we explain the financial side of racing, how much it costs for a seat in the team, and what is expected of every driver.
We then invite them along for test days so we can assess them on a variety of things, from driving skill and potential, to their ability to learn and take on instruction from our coaches and their interpersonal skills.
Two such aspiring rookies have joined us at the track twice already and are keen to grab their seat with the team in the coming seasons.
TOM CANNON
16-year-old Tom Cannon from Newton-le-Willows, near St Helens in Merseyside reached out to us having discovered us online. He joined us for track days in June and July and has his heart set on being part of our driver line up in the future.
Tom discovered his passion for racing when he was just 8 years old, having visited Daytona Racing in Manchester to try out indoor karting. He’d been excelling at racing on his SIM and before long it was clear that he had as much skill on the real-world track as he did on the virtual.
He competed in the British Indoor Kart Championship and joined a sim racing club in Liverpool. He then took part in the Ginetta Juniors Scholarship programme, reaching the final after competing against 70 drivers. Realising he had clear potential, he took his advanced ARDS test to enable him to compete in senior races.
He finished his GCSEs this year and is set to begin his A Levels in September, studying politics, economics and modern history at Winstanley College. He was diagnosed with autism two years ago, after his parents sought help for the social challenges and heightened anxiety Tom was facing at school.
Tom’s mum Jenny explains, “Tom got to the point where he just couldn’t get through the school door through really, really bad anxiety. He wanted to do so well in his exams, but he just couldn’t get in there. Once we received the diagnosis, it was a relief and helped us understand why he was struggling. The school helped us with some coping strategies and he’s now completed 8 GCSEs and will be heading to college.”
Now, Tom thinks autism helps him when it comes to driving as he focuses and practises to such extremes. Ahead of his first test with the team at Oulton Park, he’d already driven the track 100s of times on his sim rig and made countless notes about it. He explains, “It’s like doing exams at school. If you already know the questions that are coming up, you’re going to ace it.”
Speaking about the first test session, Tom says: “It was really, really cool. I kind of ‘nerded out’ about all the intricacies of the car and the hand controls. The process they put in place in terms of coaching was really good. I felt like I developed and understood the car a lot over the couple of hours of running and it was a really fun day. Seeing Team BRIT on the front of my bonnet when I was hurtling around Oulton Park at 100 miles per hour – it was one of the coolest experiences of my life.”
JASPER FITZGERALD-WOOLFE
21-year-old apprentice engineer Jasper, who splits his time between the family home in Wiltshire and his Lancashire base, is profoundly Deaf. He joined us for track days in June and July and is working towards a potential seat with the team.
Jasper has always loved speed, a passion inherited from his jet-skiing father, and has desired to work in the aeronautic industry since childhood. He discovered his true calling, motorsport, following the introduction to karting by a friend. A natural, he went on to win a number of Deaf competitions and further honed his skills with sim racing - including 24-hour competitions both on track and virtually. Jasper is the current English Deaf Karting League Champion (2024/25).
Having accrued so many karting trophies, he began exploring what other competitions were available and found Team BRIT.
Jasper explains: “When I went to the first track day with Team BRIT at Silverstone, it was just brilliant. I remember first visiting the track on a tour years ago, and as I sat watching from my seat at Beckett’s Corner, I never thought I’d get a chance to drive on track. GT4 driver Paul Fullick coached me and did such a great job at communicating with me using sign language as best he could. He was so helpful and taught me loads. He knew every corner of the track and taught me a lot about the weight of the car, how that’s transferred into corners, and the lines to follow.
“It was my first time in the BMW and I could really feel the G-force under braking and cornering.
“I’ve always wanted to join the team. They were such a lovely bunch of people and I really appreciate the chance to drive the car. I hope I’ll be back with them again soon.”
OUT & ABOUT OFF THE TRACK
It’s been a busy start to the year with a huge variety of sponsor and public events keeping us super busy alongside our racing. This is a critical part of our work as a team. Our sponsors keep us on the race track, so providing them with everything they need to make their staff, customer and community events stand out with some Team BRIT magic, is so important to us. Here’s just a small selection of what we’ve been up to!
BLACKBOOK MOTORSPORT FORUM
The BlackBook Motorsport Forum connects and inspires decision-makers and leaders across global motorsport.
On 27th March, Mike and Paul joined attendees in London to display our McLaren in a prime position next to the main stage. They chatted with representatives from organisations across the industry to share our mission and goal to make change in motorsport.
GSF TECH FEST
Also in May, we supported our partners Karcher UK at the GSF Tech Fest in Manchester. Mike joined the Karcher UK stand with our sim and blazepods, to chat to the guests of the event, which is an aftermarket trade show and conference hosted by GSF Car Parts, the UK’s fastest-growing motor factor.
CELEBRATION OF SPEED
An iconic event on every motorsport lover’s calendar, we were delighted to take part in this year’s Celebration of Speed held at Lympstone Manor in July. The event was created by Michelin-starred chef, Michael Caines.
Paul and Mike took along a McLaren which was on display throughout, giving lots of people the special tour of our car and hand controls. They also shared the Team BRIT story on the main stage, and enjoyed chatting with other special guests including Jonny Herbert and Jennie Gow.
MOTABILITY SCHEME LIVE
Back in May, Noah, Bobby and Mike took our cars, our sim and our blazepods over to the NEC in Birmingham to support Motability’s ‘Scheme Live’ event. The team met a huge number of Motability customers, shared the story of our drivers and invited them to try their hand at racing on the sim and to test their reactions on our blazepods.
MOTOFEST!
In June, Paul joined his personal sponsor, Silverlake Automotive at their annual ‘Motofest’ event at the Silverlake Stadium, home of Eastleigh FC. Silverlake are leading suppliers of used vehicles and parts, and each year host this huge community event, celebrating all things motoring.
Paul took along his McLaren and met with the crowds, before also being interviewed on the main stage.
SPONSOR FOCUS:
Adrian Flux is the UK’s largest specialist motor insurance broker, covering everything from classic and vintage cars to modified sports cars and much more. We’re incredibly proud that they have chosen to back us for the last four year.
We caught up with General Manager, Gerry Bucke, to talk all things Team BRIT and Adrian Flux.
It’s 4 years now since Adrian Flux joined us as a major partner - tell us why you were so keen to support us?
For more than 50 years, Adrian Flux has been proud to be a part of the motorsport community. We partner with individuals, teams, events and venues that share the same passion as us and do things professionally. Team BRIT not only ticks those boxes but also takes us back to our roots given we were formed when our founder couldn’t get disabled insurance for his kit car in 1973. To team up with such an inspirational outfit was an opportunity we couldn’t turn down, nor was the chance to show our continued support and commitment, not only to motorsport, but to disabled drivers too. Our team has grown and changed significantly since 2021, we’ve been able to do this because of the support we received from brands like Adrian Flux. What does it mean to you to be part of this?
With family-run roots that still underpin everything we stand for, we know how important it is to never lose sight of why things begin. Teams and companies grow but it’s vital that the ethos and values that existed from day one still remain. We could see that Team BRIT realised this but that it needed some financial support to provide more opportunities for disabled drivers. As a company, we pride ourselves on serving the underserved and providing solutions for individuals when it comes to insurance; Team BRIT shares the same sentiment but does this in a different arena. It created the perfect merging of two brands who share similar values and could benefit from a new partnership.
To play a small part in helping provide opportunities for disabled racing drivers is something that fills us with joy.
Adrian Flux himself had a passion for disability inclusion, having a disability himself, and “saw opportunities where others saw obstacles.” Tell us how Adrian Flux provides a service others can’t and why you set yourself apart by seeing every customer as unique.
Our company celebrates the individual. With the initial aim of insuring the “uninsurable”, we have always produced policies that are bespoke in order to overcome factors that other providers may find challenging. This means our staff have to get to know the driver, their history and current requirements to ensure the insurance they take out suits their circumstances. As the UK’s largest independent broker, we work with a range of specialist insurers to find the appropriate and best value-for-money cover. This isn’t always possible when filling out information via a one-size-fits-all comparison website and because we speak to our customers it allows us to use our expertise and shop around for them to find the right deal.
What are the biggest things on the horizon for Adrian Flux this year?
We are a forward-thinking company that is always looking to get ahead of the curve as the insurance industry continues to evolve alongside society. We provided the UK’s first driverless car insurance policy and continue to enter new markets as our company expands. This year we are launching a new product around land insurance and are celebrating another major milestone - Bikesure, the motorcycle arm of our company, turning 35. As part of our plans to mark the anniversary, the popular podcast it produces called Full Chat will be hosting its first live show which is something we’re all very excited about.
As all of our brands continue to grow and get busier, we’ll be looking to recruit more staff in the Autumn which is always an exciting time to introduce new people to our teams.
What would be the one thing you’d want Team BRIT’s fans, community and sponsor network to know about you?
That we love cars as much as you. So many of our staff are passionate petrolheads who love four wheelsand three and two as well. As a brand, we take advantage of our affinity with motoring to be involved in some high-quality events and content that showcases the beauty of vehicles, some of which we help insure. We commission the popular Influx Magazine and would urge you to head over to our YouTube channel to watch some of the incredible short films that we believe you’d enjoy watching. Two of our most recent editions, one involving a Vauxhall Lotus Carlton and a slightly longer feature called Cars That Made The 90s Season 1, have amassed nearly one million views each while the latter involves British Touring Car Championship legend Jason Plato!
What are your predictions for Team BRIT for the rest of the season?
Whatever happens between the lights turning green and the chequered flag being waved, Team BRIT will continue to do one thing - and that’s inspire others. For us, that, and the opportunities that are being provided, is more important than any success on the grid. However, we understand the desire to win as an ambitious company so it’s been absolutely brilliant to see Bobby Trundley and Asha Silva flying so high in the Britcar Endurance Championship standings. There’s still four rounds to go and we’re crossing fingers that they can win their class, and or the overall championship; either, let alone both, would be a phenomenal achievement.
“TO PLAY A SMALL PART IN HELPING PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISABLED RACING DRIVERS IS SOMETHING THAT FILLS US WITH JOY”
Every mechanical watch has a balance wheel, but not all balance wheels are created equal. The C12 Loco’s ‘free sprung’ balance wheel (and hairspring) isn’t merely a part of the watch. It’s the star. Placed below the time-telling dial, on the artfully coloured and stepped platine, its mesmeric oscillations are driven by a new in-house movement – Calibre CW-003, whose hand-wound, hand- nished architecture delivers a six-day power reserve and chronometric accuracy. And because we want to tell the story of how we got here – and because we’re a little loco ourselves – we’ve made a feature-length documentary about it. Just make sure you’re sitting down when the price is revealed.
