Competitor Profiles






Yet another innovation to the motorsport pages!
We will be publishing a 'short biography' of the competitors and their race cars. It is hoped in time to include each and everyone of the drivers, with perhaps a photograph. In time we hope to add links to any pages which their 'sponsors' may have on the WWW, thus giving you a shortcut to race proven MG spares & accesories etc.
Below are the first five , and I have details of further drivers, which will be added when time permits

Details below were correct as of 11/8/97
We will endevor to keep the profiles up todate.
Our thanks go out to all the racers for helping us with this page.

Terry Farman started racing in 1989, and in 1990 he finished fourth in the championship. In 1991 Terry became the overall champion, and was runner up in 1992. All this racing was in an MG Midget. Then in 1993 Terry moved from Class A to Class B to race an MG Montego. At the end of his first season in the Montego, Terry finished 4th & the following year, which now puts us in 1994, he was runner up. He also was able to claim '5 fastest laps' during that season, an impressive performance.

Mid way through the 1995 season, Terry moved back to race in Class A, and finished sixth overall. Last year Terry was running a 1500cc Midget, ending the season in fith spot, for 1997, he is running a 1275cc car. The car is prepared by Terry himself, the engine is by David Gathercole. Terry Farman has won 7 out of nine races along with one 2nd, not surprisingly he is leading the championship.
