People Who Made the Idea a Reality
Club Member Justin Fowler-Bishop approached Maesteg and District Motor Club Committee members with the aim of encouraging youngsters, those on a limited budget, and those with their cars in ‘mothballs’ back to the sport. Sharing the TCS Plant Rally Challenge Calendar was the logical way forward. With the network of companies able to keep Nissan Micra’s in competition, the car was the obvious choice. It took no time at all to gain the support of the following companies to which we are extremely grateful.
Humphris Rallysport is an Oxford based company specialising in the supply and manufacture of Nissan Micra competition parts. Matthew was approached and was delighted to give his backing to the idea. www.humphrisrallysport.co.uk
