The team is the only current outfit originating from the North East of England, and is based in Newcastle. As such, the team's drivers include Harry Vaulkhard and alan Taylor who also originate from the Tyne and Wear region. | |||

The team and drivers are all looking forward to developing the Chevrolet throughout the 2008 season, receiving limited suport from the works WTCC team. Indeed they took part in a test in December 2007 to gauge their performance agsint those of the WTCC cars and will be hoping to get close to challenging for top positions towards the end of the 2008 season. |
