Customer Testimonials
"With little experience and naturally headstrong, JDR brought on Oliver Stirling from a quick but inconsistent driver to two championships in Sports 2000 over a four year period at what we felt was a reasonable budget. The cars were well engineered as well as properly built, and John Danby’s influence helped Oliver to do the rest."
"As a driver who started racing in 1966 I’m well past my best, but still enjoy competing in a well prepared car and when possible getting a result. This has been possible in historic racing in both the Elite and the Elan, thanks to their speed and reliability and the JDR team’s ability to make rapid tactical changes during a two driver endurance event. The team is a very welcoming place, and I enjoy going racing with them almost regardless of where we finish up." - Nick Atkins
