After a break from competitive motorsport of more than 25 years a man from Wisbech has decided to head back to his childhood love of racing in a single seater car.

Bill “Wom” Garner has competed internationally in 250 national karts.

But after much research, conversations with current participants and visiting some of the 750 motor club race meetings, he decided on a Formula Vee single-seater vehicle.

2017 was very much a development year with many ups and downs, a steep learning curve with big development steps being taken.

2018 has seen a development partnership with AWS Motorsport culminating in a double win success at Mondello Park in Ireland.

The team travelled across on Thursday July 5, tested out some development changes on the Friday and then competed in the two British championship rounds on Saturday resulting in class wins in both rounds.

Currently Wom is 8th in the class championship, with his next competing round at Donington Park on September 1 - 2.
