This popped up on the Internet.
I don't want to presume but looks like they are using some atomcup photos?

Yes they are from Setterton last year. We purchased the rights to them from a ohotographer that was at the circuit and have a full usage license.

Snett was a great race weekend. Nevermind onwards and upwards!!!

All gone very quiet on the atom racing front from all sides.
Any plans of anything happening in the future anyone is aware of?

Sadly all packed up. Couldn't make it work with full price parts and cars and MSVR being  sewn up by Atom Cup. We ended up in the 750motorclub which is ace but very few people wanted to race.

We ended up Nick and I (Martin James) racing for 2 years for effectively free and sold the all the cars now at a small profit. So all in all it was an experience.

You really need to do it full time to make it work and the Atom isn't a race car that many people want to drive.

Shame - Cracking car and I'll be buying a 4 - if I'm allowed ;)

Shame it was a good watch being quite close and competitive at the Cadwell Park atomcup. It was good to get so close to the action both in the garage and trackside  - even watching Nick watching his race back on the Tv, no doubt seeing where he could improve  - taking it very seriously and professionally - he's had a good teacher?

I am doing Civic Cup at the moment polishing up on FWD. I have one round in BTCC next year if a driver drops out and hopefully a full year in 2018.

Civics are great fun. Also doing a lot of endurance racing now.

Loving BTCC currently. I hope you do get a drive - with any team in particular?
I went to Donington last year - I never knew you could get so close to the garages/teams.
Grassroots at its finest.
