Over 20 partners will put the BMW M4, Ariel Atom and Caterham 7 Superlight machines through their paces, all aiming to take the crown from Lee Donaghey from Onetek and secure a guaranteed spot at Fastest 4 2016.
“Business competition is nothing compared to the personal competition we’re seeing between partners,” said Henry West, head of channel sales at Eclipse. “Everyone is gunning for Lee Donaghey as the man to beat this year and we’ll all be seeing if the tension gets to him when peers and partners are watching.”
Contenders have extra pressure this year as their moves will be under the scrutiny of Ben Collins, the original Stig from BBC’s Top Gear. Ben will be showing them how the professionals do it in the Palmer Jaguar JP-LM then presenting prizes at the evening’s dinner.
