Welcome to the home of Alex Gassman, an aspiring young racing driver aged 18, having just completed his second season of saloon car racing in 2009 where he was once again  competing in the Mk1 MR2 Racing Series. For 2010 he is again being sponsored by Stoner Racing and Celtic Energy who are maintaining and transporting the car for us, so many thanks to the team there, especially Alec Fitness who is the chief engineer on Alex’s car and does a great job!

In his first ever season of competitive car racing in 2008, Alex managed to finish 3rd overall in the Red Dragon Race & Track Club Toyota  MR2 Mk1 Racing Series. He also won the best newcomer award for the season.

In 2009, Alex won the award for the ‘Most Outstanding Club Driver’, and scored 12 podium finishes including 9  race wins from a total of 15 races throughout the season.

Alex has also had the chance to drive other race cars, such as a Subaru Impreza and a TVR Tuscan and Formula BMW single seater. In everything he’s driven he’s shown the ability to be very competitive within only a few laps.

Alex is seeking additional sponsorship to help him further his experience. The benefits of higher level sponsorship include passenger laps with Alex on track in his race car, an experience not easily forgotten! Read more about these benefits here.

Alex competes in the Red Dragon Race & Track Club Toyota Mk1 MR2 Racing series www.mr2racing.com This is a class solely for Mk1 MR2s and for drivers aged 16 and up, meaning Alex is one of the youngest drivers in the series.
