Stunning Debut for David

June 7, 2009

Formula Vee newcomer David Josef scored an impressive 4th and 5th place finish in his first Formula Vee race using Alan Forster’s GAC race car. The result is even more incredible when it is considered that David had not even sat in the car until a few hours before qualifying and with no prior testing of a Formula Vee race car at all.

David was impressed with the handling and performance of the Vee, indeed the modern GAC race car has taken the performance of these Beetle-based racers to new levels.

Formula Vee Race Car Makes Racing Return!

June 7, 2009

Even though Alan might not be racing this year, the GAC Formula Vee race car will be out in action in the hands of ex-Formula Palmer Audi racer, David Josef.  The Scotland based racer  is making his return to racing after paying off his debt from the 2001 FPA season! He has chosen Formula Vee due to the large and competitive grids. GAC will be running the car for David so it will be in good hands!

Alan wishes David all the very best for 2009

2009 Update – Racing Takes a Back Seat

June 7, 2009

Unfortunately, as with a lot of racers in 2009, the current economic crisis has led to a reduction in budgets and racing has had to take a back seat in 2009. Alan won’t be making it to the grid this year but it will provide some time to evaluate options for next season and to generate a racing budget.

Look out for updates throughout the year as a new project is always just around the corner…

2009 – Onwards & Upwards!

June 7, 2009

Following a difficult 2008, Alan is hoping to build on the hard work put in to building a competitive car in 2009. The last race of the year at Mallory gave an indication of the performance that Alan is capable of and the first podium finish can’t be far away.

Keep checking on the website to see how he does or better still, get yourself down to a race meeting!
