Spookworks in Secret Ice Test Session

Spookworks RAF Rally Team took advantage of the bad weather conditions last week to have a sneaky test session at a secret location.


Cold as Ice....Spookworks turns up the heat on a secret test track

The team tested a new brake and suspension set up as well as a new gravel wheel and tyre package.  Although no official photography was allowed we managed to get these exclusive shots from an amateur cameraman who we managed to bribe with some lukewarm Bovril and a pack of half eaten Jaffa cakes.

Only the bravest and courageous amateurs were out in the woods on this day!

 
Slippery when wet - sideways is the only way in these conditions....
Traction control - is a relative term

Only one way in the snow - givin it the beans....

Spookworks Enters The Flying Fortress Stages 17 March 2013


At a hastily convened Press Conference at a snowy Spookworks winter retreat, the Spookworks spokesman announced that the Spookworks RAF Rally Team has officially entered the Flying Fortress Rally to be held on the 17 March 2013 near Kettering.  He stated:

"Its great to have our first event of the year confirmed.  We have never done this event before so its going to be a big challenge.  A lot of development has gone into the 2013 car and we are looking forward to getting into battle and seeing what it can do.  The Flying Fortress requires a gravel set up so you can see the team is headed in a new direction this year. Its an exciting time and we are very optimistic about the season ahead.  Its going to be a big year."

Spookworks Winter Retreat.  A modest location for some winter preparation and a hasty press conference.













The spokesman refused to comment about why Spookworks had decided to take a new direction or what the recent developments would be.

Spookworks back in business...

With 2012 now well behind us and the aftermath of the Spookworks New Years Eve party now repaired, all the boffins rounded up and installed back in the Spookworks biosphere and the Australian bloke found underneath the Spookworks billiard table safely returned to the possession of his embassy it is time to focus on 2013. 

Into the unknown we go...who knows what 2013 will bring?

Whilst the final touches are still to be made to the masterpiece that is the 2013 Spookworks calendar, a rough pencil sketch does exist and I can inform you that the current plan looks something like this....
