Get yourself a job that lets you do your other job, while doing your job 💪🏻
Had the privilege to Document this Riley & Scott Mk.3 that has been many years in the making finally turn a wheel. @mirage_engineering
Also seeing this beautiful Pilbeam MP91 test after a winter rebuild.
Name a better looking F1 from the 70s!
Such a privilege to work on this beautiful fridge from Bognor Regis. Got Monaco blues 🇲🇨

Monaco 2026, over and out. 🏁🇲🇨
It’s hard to put into words the rollercoaster of emotions this event brings — not just for the drivers, but for every single person involved behind the scenes.
Months of preparation, logistics, regulations, late nights and fine details all come down to one weekend.
This year we supported six cars and four drivers. Some results were out of our hands, but we’re incredibly proud of what the team achieved and the results we’re bringing home.
Monaco, we’ll see you again soon. 🇲🇨

Thank you @initracing for a race winning reliable engine #winner #monacohistorique #scarab #backtoback
And just like that! 2026 Monaco Historic is here!
6 cars, months of prep and it’s almost time to hit the streets of Monaco. Keep an eye out for:
Craig Davies in Series F in his gorgeous LEC CRP1
John Spiers in his Ex Ronnie Peterson March 761 in series E
@katsukubota in Series D in the infamous Lotus 72
Katsu is also driving his ex-Jim Clarke Lotus 25 in Series B.
@f00tsoldier will be hunting for the top spot in his Lotus 21 also in Series B
Mark is also hoping for a top finish in his one of a kind Scarab Offenhouser, which we can all agree will be echoing through the tight streets of Monaco in series A2.
Whilst some of us are at Oulton Park, the rest of the team are down at Goodwood Members’ Meeting with @katsukubota and his stunning Lotus 30.
It’s all go at the minute, with the truck on its way to Monaco and the team split between two race meetings. Busy is an understatement, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
#GoodwoodMembersMeeting
Back at @oultonparkofficial Park this weekend for the @equipeclassicracing series.
Despite the heavens opening yesterday, we still managed a productive test day, got some laps in, and ironed out a few creases ahead of today’s racing.
We’re here supporting @auto_stable with his stunning Chevron B8, competing in the Equipe 70s Sports Racing Cars series.
We’ve also got Joel’s Lotus 26R out in the Equipe Libre 40-minute race, where he’ll be sharing the drive with David Humpston.
The weather’s looking good, the cars are ready, and we’re set for a cracking day.
Let’s go racing! 🏁
It’s almost time for Monaco! 🇲🇨
Final checks being put in place before the truck gets loaded and makes its way to the south of France!

Andy was on driver duties for our friends at Mirage Engineering yesterday! 🏁
He was out testing two F1 cars, the very familiar Lotus 25 and Lotus 72, as well as the Lotus 30 ‘can-am’ car which Andy will be racing in September, at the Goodwood Revival 🔥
Although Andy won’t be competing this year in the Lotus 25, he will be working closely alongside new owner & driver Katsu Kubota at Monaco in May 🇲🇨
Middlehurst Road Race & Classic very proudly handled the sale of the Lotus 25 earlier this year 🤝🏼

Test day! And a beautiful morning here at @oultonparkofficial
Today we’re shaking down @auto_stable ’s chevron B8 and Lotus Elan.

Had this Chevron B8 from Tom Smith Racing and Team Mirage.
Reported a bit of misfire from the top end, but after our dyno runs, seems to be fine.
The vehicle will go through a bit of a rebuild after this, as some work still needs to be done.

It’s been a brilliant two days of testing here at Guadix for the team. Between the three cars, we’ve covered hundreds of miles and gathered a huge amount of valuable data ahead of Monaco.
Running this week were @katsukubota stunning ex-Jim Clark Lotus 25, Craig Davies in the LEC CRP1, and John Spiers in the March 761. Across the test, we’ve been able to work through setup changes, respond to driver feedback, and make strong progress in preparing all three cars for the season ahead.
We’ve also been fortunate to have @cgranty43 and @nigel_greensall with us, offering first-hand driver feedback and helping us iron out the finer details, both in performance and reliability.
All in all, it’s been an extremely successful and productive test — and we’ll be back next week for more
