Welcome to the Tesco Momentum 99 Racing section. Please use the menus above to navigate. You'll find details of our 2010 season programme, as well as complete race reports and photography from our highly successful team. As a race team we have three separate arms – race car preparation, race team operations and Team Tesco Momentum 99 Racing.

As team 'Tesco Momentum 99 Racing' we run three BMW CSL’s in the CSL Cup and two Vauxhall Astra VXR’s in the Dunlop Sportmaxx Championship. In the CSL Cup we have Nick Foster and Mark Steward driving the E46 M3 cars and John Thorne drives our new E92 GT3 car. Mark and Nick both have extensive racing experience, Mark has a history in Radicals and Tiger racing and Nick used to drive a Viper in the British GT Championship. John’s main role is in development, he develops and sets up all the race cars both for our own drivers and other customers and his role this year is to develop the new BMW E92 GT3 race car. The E92 M3 is being developed to full FIA GT3 homologation and this year will run in the CSL Cup, British GT, GT Cup and Britcar races as part of its development process, the car will also represent Team Tesco Momentum 99 Racing in the Britcar 24 hour race at Silverstone.

In the Vauxhall Astra VXR-R race cars we have Stuart Clarke and Alex Ashby. Stuart raced for the team last year and is back in the same Astra VXR-R, Stuart has a long experience of front wheel drive racing in the Mini Challenge. Alex is quite new to racing only having some experience in the Fun Cup endurance racing, however he is already performing well in the Astra.

As well as our own Momentum 99 Racing team cars we also build and develop race cars for other teams and individuals. We are experienced in building cars built to varying specifications from club racing to international GT level, to date we have built 7 CSL Cup race cars, a race series which the company also runs with the help of BARC.

As well as running our own team cars we also offer a complete race preparation and support service for race programs in the UK and Europe. The team has two 45 foot support trucks and can support anything from sprinting to 24hr endurance races, being based near Silverstone means travel to most UK circuits is not expensive or inconvenient. We offer cost effective packages to cover complete race support and an extensive corporate hospitality package with the capacity to cater for up to 150 guests.
