                                                              Porsche  997 Cup S
The year was going to be one of the biggest challenges, I needed to give David Wall  a reliable,robust and perfect car to be able to win the 2010 GT championship once again, Back to back wins in the same car with more restrictions was going to be hard to do . The team ended with the big win we all wanted.

Wall Racing, 2008 Sepang 12hr race. Finished 3rd outright.

                         

                         David Wall and myself at Eastern Creek Sydney Australia, Porsche 996 RSR
In 2008 we set to win the Sepang Merdeka Millennium  12hr Endurance race with this Porsche.we ended up in 3rd place behind two 997 RSRs.

                              

SKEA RACING, Le Mans 2000 Finished 2nd in class.

                         
                                          Le Mans 24hr race in 2000 , Porsche 996 GT3 R
                   
              This has to be one of the best memories in motor sport for me as we finished 2nd in class, This is one of the most famous and also one of the hardest endurance races in the world, Not just hard on the car but hard work for all the crew too.



Skea Racing also competed in the American Le Mans series in 2000, This was a fantastic year to work with such a professorial team and to have a such a high class of world drivers competing.






KnightHawk Racing, Le Mans 2001 and ALMS series.

                                                                       Lola B2k-40
                           This years race was a bit challenging as it decided to rain the whole 24hrs of the race. It provided a learning curve for us all to take away something from this race to be able to apply during further races in the future under these extreme wet conditions.
