Travis Web Team Posted Wed 16 Dec, 2009 12:20 PM |
While Fran and Andy embarked on their recent acoustic tour of the US, Neil has also been busy with his other passion, motorsport!
Isla racing began in 2006 as Neil developed an interest in Historic Motorsport alongside his regular forays in Porsche Club racing and national rallying and karting.
After a class win and Index of Performance trophy on the 2007 Tour Brittania, Neil and friend Paul Howells took a Porsche 906 to Classic Le Mans and finished 4th in class first time out. It was at this time that all thoughts turned towards Lola Cars, namely those in the Two Litre Sports Prototype category such as the T212 and T290-4 series cars.It was very apparent that cars with real period history, properly developed, tested and prepared would be extremely competitive and good fun to drive!!

| So, it's just like regular driving. No one signals when they change lanes and when you try to pass someone, they cut into your lane and slow down. |

Neil! That is cool, it's just like riding with you. :)
Also, I noticed that the Isla Racing font is the same as the one Travis uses. :) |

| Ahh yes. That's the Lola Prototype that Neil is so fond of. He'll be contesting in the upcoming Le Mans Historics in July! Wishing him all the best. Stay safe and bring the trophy home!! =) |
