Rokit Williams Racing and Prodrive bring nostalgia to SpeedMachine

The SpeedMachine Festival will pay tribute to one of Formula One’s most prestigious teams, ROKiT Williams Racing, with an off-track display at Silverstone from May 25-26.

In a homage to the iconic British outfit, founded by Sir Frank Williams, and a nod to the present, the Williams FW14B made famous by Nigel Mansell, will share the spotlight with an FW42 show car similar to that campaigned by George Russell and Robert Kubica in 2019.

Baggsy – FIA World Rally Cross Catalunya 2019

It was back to Sunny Spain this past weekend for Baggsy. And this time he got to play on the world famous F1 Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

With the FIA World Rally Cross descending upon the Spanish community of Catalonia, Baggsy and the #LSXR35 came to bring the noise to the party. Kicking off the weekend with a photoshoot on the F1 start line, the #LSXR35 looked right at home.

Joined by fellow Monster Energy athlete Luke Woodham and in front of a crowd of 25k crazy WRX fans. Baggsy brought the Monster Energy smoke show with four demos over the course of the weekend. And to top it off, a couple of lucky fans got to join him in the passenger seat.

Brown continues Rallycross form at Lydden Hill

Steve Brown enjoyed the best result of his circuit racing career last weekend at Lydden Hill, by taking taking fifth spot in the Toyo Tyres British Rallycross Championship BMW MINI final (21st April).

Brown took his Bellerby RX MINI to the impressive result, despite contesting only the second ever British Rallycross meeting of his career. Added to his opening round result at Silverstone in March, he now sits in sixth place in the hotly contested single make formula.

Lydden disappointment for Constantine

Reigning MSA Junior Rallycross champion Tom Constantine was hoping for more success in round two of the Toyo Tires MSA British Rallycross Championship this weekend at Lydden Hill in Kent but after a superb performance at the opening round at Silverstone last month, he couldn’t manage a repeat.

Baggsy – Pre Season Action

It has been a busy start to the year for Baggsy and the team. From static displays and demos, to promo shoots. Plus the team working hard preparing vehicles for the upcoming race season.

First up, the #PS13V8 has been with the guys at MotorsportFifty6 in Ireland for a complete overhaul. It has also been receiving some amazing upgrades ready for competition at Round 1 of Drift Masters GP 2019 on May 18/19th at Greinbach, Austria.

March saw Baggsy and the team headed out to Madrid, Spain armed with the #LSXR35 and giving over 100 passenger rides to Monster Energy VIPs. In true Baggsy style, much smoke was made and many people were left speechless (and a little scared).

SpeedMachine will host Europe’s largest collection of customised supercar exotica from Liberty Walk, the specialist automotive tuning company, as part of a head-turning array of on and off-track action at Silverstone from May 25-26.

The assortment of cars will include a stunning BMW i-8, along with a Lamborghini Aventador, Ford Mustang and Nissan GT-R all featuring Liberty Walk’s unique take on design treatment.
