Their finest hour?

Rally of Midlands 2011 - Spookworks grab a  quick breather before SS21
Spookworks is delighted to report a magnificent 15th Overall and 2nd in Class on this weekends Rally of the Midlands.

The  Spookworks crew kept it clean and tidy, avoiding the carnage around the stages to climb to 2nd in Class B13 - arguably one of the most competitive classes on the event.  the rally was not without its issues, brakes and tyres made the event not as straightforward as it might seem.  Full report to follow soon.

RAF News 15 June 2011

Spookworks again in the RAF News.  See pic attached for article.

Only 2 days to go until the Rally of the Midlands

Spookworks will be back in action in 2 days time at the Rally of the Midlands.  Based in Hinckley, Leicestershire the event has 24 stages with approx 120 stage miles connected by approx 80 road miles.  It's Round 2 of the RAF Rally Championship and as we are currently in 3rd place in the Championship after the D'Isis Rally we must get a good result to stop the others from pulling too far ahead.

The weather will be critical as the forecast is for rain.  We have four wheel drive so that will be a big advantage but the roads are fast, slippy and unforgiving. Tyre choice is going to be very important.  We have a choice of slicks, cut slicks or full wets so should be able to find something to work.  The car has had an oil change, spanner check and just needs some new pads which we will get once we meet up with Jonesy at Service.

We are car 53, so as the leaders start the event at 1730 we should be in stage at about 1756hrs give or take.  If you can't get to Hinckley to catch the action you could always listen to how we are going by tuning in to 107.9 Oak FM as they are covering the rally.

Does my bum look big in this? New sticker for Spookworks rear end


Spookworks are pleased to be sporting a new sticker for the Rally of the Midlands!


As part of our support for the RAFBF we have put a new sticker on the backside of the Spookworks Subaru! 
Hopefully by marking up the Spookworks Subaru with their famous Heart Roundel logo  we can spread the word about the services the charity provides to serving and former RAF personnel– and raise some much needed funds in the process. The RAF Benevolent Fund spent £21 million supporting the RAF family last year so they need all the support they can get!


Check out the RAFBF at www.rafbf.org


Could there be more changes to come - perhaps from another new partner.  Stay tuned to find out!
