Where it all began…
Sinister motor sport off road, Comp safari / rally.
We have always been involved in motorsport, especially 4×4 and land rover trailing however in 2022 James landed himself a very competitive comp safari car and wasted no time getting in and racing with 2 clubs, Northern Off Road Club ( NORC ) and the Staffs & Shrops.
2023 was James’s first season, It was a hard fast learning curve with with some silly mistakes in the first 2 meetings costing points, However he picked up some 1st, 2nd and 3rd trophies fairy quick and got into the swing.
James fast made a name as a hard right foot and aggressive driver which came more apparent with the wheels of the race car ( Elmo ) never been on the floor!
At the end of the season 2023, James was very proud to win the Class 8 championship!! Not bad for a first timer!
We now look forward to progressing and learning with continued racing in 2024 with NORC, S&S and hopefully the British
We are very thankful of our sponsors Viking 4×4 and Northern Plant & Machinery Ltd and hope we do them proud again in 2024
