Abbey Motorsport 2012

 

2012 has been a good year for everyone @ Abbey Motorsport , we have worked on plenty of car and say thank you to past, present and future customers of Abbey Motorsport for their support in 2012, thought I would just have a quick think about what sticks in my memory from this year.

 

Jeff Ludgates awesome 8.8 sec run at the JDS Final meeting of 2012

 

 

 

John Bradshaw consistent 6.6 @ 200+ mph run in Project Zed

We travelled across the water with Motul and Project Zed this year;

 

1st we went to Le Mans for the Moto GP French round , weather played havoc but we still got to run the car

 

 

Then we travelled to Germany where a badly prepared track caused a lot of long sad faces, then we travelled to Tierp in Sweden which again was plagued with bad weather but we did get to run the car in anger

 

Straight off the truck 6.73 @ 330 kph.

 

cant embedded this video it seems

 

 

 

The Swedes loved the car , makes plenty of noise and doesnt go bad for only 3.5ltr they say. Was good to race against some mad Volvo's turbo cars.

 

Hope we can go back with Project Zed 2 which we hope will be built in 2013 to run in Top door Slammer V8 Nissan powered twin turbo which we hope will go deep into the 5's

Abbey Motorsport finally went back to its roots back on the closed circuit race track @ the end of 2012 pairing up with the Rev Marketing (Rev Marketing - Accelerating your performance sponsored Nissan 350Z of Steve Burke (Team Lizard Motorsport

 

 

We run Steve car in the MSV Team Trophy class endurance race over 1 hour against a varied mixture of cars, we tested a far bit running up to the meeting in November had a few issues but sorted them easily with Abbey experience in circuit racing and car preparation , had a good qualifying and brought the car home 2nd after a action filled race of 1 hours only 2 sec behind the winning car
