Steve
Robinson Based in Cliffe, North Yorkshire
- Steve is a Company Director involved in IT solutions for
the food, chemicals and metals sectors through Drive Computer
Services Ltd. After a very brief appearance in XR3
Challenge in the mid 90's Steve has had a
long history of sprint & hill
climb competition and was Competition Secretary
and PR Secretary of the Westfield
Sports Car Club - and remains a Life Member.
Since 2005 Steve has been a member of 750MC and in 2008 took
up the position of role of Formula Official for The AB Performance
RGB Championship.
His
original Westfield started
life as a pinto based roadcar and
was developed, with the help of Plays
Kool Motorsport into a slick shod all out sprinter;
running a normally aspirated Cosworth
YB. The car was shared for a period with son Jamie and
later son in law Chris Parry -
the trophy cabinet is full of class wins and podium results
from sprint & hill climb venues
all around the UK.
After
a couple of seasons supporting both Jamie in the 750MC
Locost Championship and running the Westfield a
change to a single focus on the 750MC
RGB Championship was embarked upon in 2006
with a Genesis.
Purchased as a rolling chassis the car was rebuilt during early
2006, once again with the support of Plays
Kool Motorsport. Supported by Ade Terry the
team came 3rd in Class A and 5th Overall Championship in 2007.
Jamie
Robinson (son), A graduate of Engineering
from Nottingham University - Jamie currently manages the
motorsport activities of Ginetta
Cars, part of the well respected LNT
Group.

Whilst
at Uni Jamie managed and competed in the Karting team and was
a well known character in BUKC.
At 16 Jamie started competing in Dad's Westfield and inevitably
went faster than the old man, leading to a step into Locost which
resulted in Championship 3rd Overall in 2005 and some memorable
racing, including a double header/double win at Brands
Hatch that year.
After
leaving Uni Jamie extended his driving credentials by achieving
his Instructors License and
worked part time at Croft circuit and
with TVR and WSCC
Clubs on track and corporate events. A one
off entry in the Radical Championship at Cadwell
Park (many thanks to Ian for lending his car)
saw a fifth place finish and affirmed his natural abilities.
Since
joining LNT Jamie
has had exposure in works cars in the Ginetta
G20 Championship and in late 2007 campaigned
Dad's Genesis at a Powernights event, coming second after starting
last on the grid with a 55 second time penalty imposed as part
of the race handicapping system. 2008 should see Jamie competing
overseas and on home soil in a variety of machinery including
the new Ginetta G50 in The Avon Tyres British GT Championship.

the latest Grazia magazine than really watching the racing! |
