Laser Tools Pre '93 Touring Cars

Since 2020, Laser Tools has proudly served as the title sponsor for the Classic Touring Car Racing Club's highly regarded Pre 1993 Touring Cars series. This partnership has proven to be a perfect match for the Laser Tools brand, resulting in a remarkable resurgence of interest and participation in the championship. Despite the ever-changing climate and circumstances, the championship has defied the odds and maintained its popularity and entertainment value.

Even in 2023, the championship continues to captivate audiences with its thrilling display of diverse machinery from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Amongst this exhilarating spectacle, the Laser Tools Racing BMW, driven by Andy Sheraton, stands as an integral part of the championship, adding to the excitement and competitive spirit of the event.

Laser Tools Rally Team

Driver Peter Outram and co-driver Jemma Outram, with the service crew made up of friends and family members with Anthony Windle, Tim Windle and Mick Munday on the spanners, Dawn and Jodie Outram keeping us fed and watered and cheered along by our biggest fan my grandson Theo Smith. Work on the car is done at home which does take some considerable time keeping the car competitive and reliable and also looking its best every time we turn out.

The car is a class 4 1980 Ford Escort MK2 fitted with a 2.1Duratec engine with Borg Warner T5 gearbox and Atlas disc braked rear axle with a motorsport limited slip diff. The inside of the car bears little resemblance to how it came from the factory with a fully welded roll cage competition bucket seats, 6 point full harness seat belts and plumbed in fire suppression system all inline with the current Motorsport UK regulations.

We are proud to have been supported by Laser Tools for seven years now with some great results where we consistently finish in the top 5 in our class collecting numerous class win trophies, as well as top 10 finishes.
