BMW 1600ti ready for Silverstone

When Great Escape Classic Car Hire's Technical Director Tony Hunting brought the http://www.davidcornwallis.co.uk/ BMW 1600ti race car in for prepping at our Worcestershire workshop before its outing at Silverstone, it was a great opportunity for the team to get together before the camera with the car.

Great Escape MD Graham Eason, Operations Manager Russ Pemberton and Tony posed for a snapshot after the car had been fetled on the Great Escape ramp. The BMW runs in the Swinging Sixties championship co-driven by Tony with David Cornwallis, who owns the car and runs a company specialising in refurbished Thwaites dumper trucks. Great Escape provides sponsorship for the duo throughout the season.

The BMW's next outing is at Silverstone on September 16th when it will compete in the Swinging Sixties championship. The car required work to the exhaust and bodywork after a minor incident at Anglesey track.

Good weekend for Tony

Tony Hunting, who runs Great Escape Classic Car Hire's Worcestershire workshop and manages our Suffolk site, had another good weekend's outing in the Great Escape-sponsored BMW 1600ti. Co-driving with David Cornwallis in the Classic Sports Car Club Championship's Swinging Sixties Group B class, the trio of drivers and car posted another good result at the Anglesey round of the championship.

The BMW team is very hands on with all vehicle prepping and maintenance carried out by David and Tony. The car carries a FIA certificate and is eligible to race in various historic championships including Goodwood.

During the Anglesey weekend the BMW was punted off by a Porsche 911 so will require some bodywork repairs over the next couple of weeks.

Anglesey was the car's first outing with its new Great Escape Classic Car Hire logos in place.
