Secrets of Spookworks #1

Here at Spookworks we are often asked what colour our car is.  Well its obviously red but what kind of red.  Subaru made several shades of red for their GC8 Imprezas - Red Mica being one of the most popular.  Well here at Spookworks we do things a little differently and as we get ready for the 2012 season we are going to let you into a little secret.

You see we all know that red cars are faster - in fact the colour red is the quickest colour for the human eye to process.  This is evidenced by all of our danger and warning signs being largely red.  But the Spookworks Impreza isn't painted in any old red....

You see to extract every last ounce of performance out of the Spookworks Impreza we only ever use the best - nothing else will do.  And that's why the Spookworks Subaru is gloriously painted head to toe in nothing other than:

Ferrari Rosso Red!

(Or are Ferraris painted in Spookworks Rosso Red?)

If you don't believe us, we had the paint tested by a laboratory close to the secret Spookworks Technical Centre.  If its good enough for Enzo its good enough for us!

It does what it says on the tin!

Spookworks would like to wish our friends, sponsors, fans, supporters, event organisers, marshals, fellow competitors and everyone who just adores rallying a very Merry Christmas and a very successful and happy New Year for 2012.  See you on the stages!!

Tea anyone?

SPOOKWORKS CLINCH 2011 RAF TITLE!!!

Spookworks have clinched the 2011 RAF Rally Championship title with a goliath killing 3rd in Class and an amazing 10th overall in the Fat Albert Stages at Keevil this weekend!!



The 2011 Champions Wreath now joins the 2010 Wreath on the Spookworks Impreza

The crew did not have it all their own way.  Phil Bruce put up a spirited fight and did not give up a single tenth of a second.  Half way through the event the foes were neck and neck when some spirited driving on the slippery Keevil stages and some luck meant that Phil dropped back to sixth in class while Spookworks came home in third.
