Racing Transporters

Couple of Stock Car Race Transporters


cheers Geo

Here’s a couple from this weekend, waiting outside Donington Park in readiness for the World Superbikes meeting this coming weekend … More to follow throughout the season depending upon what we bump into.

Hoping to get into WSBK this weekend as my mate is working on track maintenance and general handyman jobs :stuck_out_tongue:

It will be the first weekend since September that we’ve not been there! We’re working across at Santa Pod …

Seen in the pit lane at Melbourne yesterday.

Some more photos taken of the build up at the first GP of the year at Melbourne.

WOW, that Mclaren doubles a stunner, bet the polishing takes a while :exclamation:

Heres one from the early days of stockcars at Aycliffe :exclamation:

I would love to see some of the teams using that in Europe to transport their gear. :laughing:

There’s a fantastic sequence of photos showing the complete resoration of a 1940 Dodge racing car transporter, originally an RAF crewbus, at www.oldclassiccar.co.uk . There are also plenty of other interesting old motors on there.

This is one I was invited to have a look around. It is the original 1959 Ecurie Ecosse Racing Commer.

It is a rather embarrassing tale as I went to collect one of ■■■■ Skipworths D Type Jaguars for a calendar photo shoot. When I arrived the car wasn’t quite ready so I had a couple of hours to be shown around the workshops and various restorations that were in progress. I assured the owner the car would be OK as I would remain with it. We loaded the car with love and great care and delivered it. The plan then got changed and I was sent off to another urgent job. When I arrived back in the depot the story was going round that this D type had been damaged by another driver. I was gutted to hear this and asked if I could take it back.

I am sure whilst looking around the Commer with the owner, I was being interviewed to drive it full time. Wishful thinking maybe!

Got a couple of photos from my recent travels.
This was at an Aston Martin day at Silverstone

And although it’s a catering wagon not a race transporter it’s still one hell of a piece of kit.

I’m working for a team called Jota, we running an Aston Martin Vantage in the Le Mans Series.
The Timber work, well Timber, Steel, concrete and a bit of cutainsier stuff was a stop gap until I could get another motorsport job.
Haulage is hard work now and no where near as much fun as I remember. :frowning:
