Yep, I’m afraid after 17 years of racing the time has come for me to retire from competitive motorsport. Now this doesn’t mean Thorney Motorsport will no longer be motorsport, far from it, motorsport is in our DNA and is part and parcel of everything we develop and...
Usually we do a whole season of reports for our BMW racing, a blow by blow account of each race, how we did and how things are going but its safe to say that this year has been a little different. First of all Covid meant the season was about as screwed up as was...
Right, we've had enough. Callums race lasted all of 2 seconds and its the final straw for this championship either drivers shit driving needs to be policed or we will simply race elsewhere. Have a look; I could go on about how we worked our arses off repairing the...
Well our season appears to go from bad to worse, a crash at Brands Hatch knocked Callum out of a race winning position and 2 weeks later we have the same happen (albeit self inflected rather than nerfed off). Weekend initially went well, replacing the driveshafts...
2020 was an odd season, Covid meant that what racing we had was jammed into a short period so we suffered from a lack of testing, lack of seat time and with it being Callums first season in Class S (the top class in MSV Supercup) we were pretty pleased with the...
Its funny, usually we have a race by race report detailing how we have done and how things have gone, but this year, for a lot of people has not been very usual so we have an end of season report instead. Rewind back to March this year I guess we should be happy with...
Well, this is an odd season already, with covid knocking everything flat and then the season starting with some weird rules in place its all been a bit of an eye opener. We started the year full of high hopes, Callum won his class last season so we spent the Winter...
Well, first full season in his E46 M3 and first class championship, cant say better than that. Last round was at Brands Hatch, a track Callum knows well, he had a 5 point lead going into the last race but taking into account dropped rounds was a net 8 points behind in...
Well we like it wet (well Callum does) and after Donington Park we thought we’d be too lucky to get another race but blow me thats exactly what we got, only this time it was too wet. With zero practice available and Callum having never sat foot in the place let...
Well a wet wet wet Donington Park was the scene for round 4 of the Championship and Callum likes it wet so we were hopeful of a good round. Last race we had some issues with he differential so that had been swapped and testing on Friday confirmed all was good so we...
Our first wet race of the year but another great result. The Friday test didnt go so well, lots of red flags meant limited running and we picked up a whining noise from the rear diff that we diagnosed simply as worn bearings so would require a rebuild which isnt...
Well if it aint broke dont fix it, with a class win in round one we decided to leave the M3 in the same class and run it this year in part as a learning year for Callum as he gets used to the extra power and weight. Well he’s learning, a near faultless drive and...
You never know what will happen with a new season and its fair to say that this one was a bit of a surprise. Pre-season went well, the car has been heavily updated with new brakes, aero, less weight, new exhaust but the one thing we didnt touch was the power, plan was...
Well 2019 is with us and there has been a lot of changes to the BMW E36 M3 driven by Callum Noble. Last year was a test year really to see how Callum adapted to the higher weight, power and grip of the E46 M3 chassis which bearing in mind he came from the 1125kg BMW...
To reflect the enhanced support we have had from Badgers Oak this season we decided to host a fun day out for them at Bruntingthorpe Training Ground. Bruntingthorpe is basically an airfield where you can use areas simply for fun and also a short course track to both...
2018 Season report – BMW Racing Over the past few weeks we’ve had a few people ask why we’ve not been releasing race reports this year and whilst we dont want to disappoint our followers we did have a couple of reasons why we havent. The first reason...
Our 2018 racing plans are our most exciting yet and the first one we can announce is our latest E46 M3 (our 9th we have built) to be driven by our regular driver – Callum Noble. Callum has decided to jump into the deep end moving from two successful seasons in...
Well if ever there was a weekend of highs and lows this was it. Having never raced the Silverstone National circuit before we used the test day for Callum to find his way round and get an idea of the track, personally I love the National as its about braking and...
Second race of the year and seeing as Callum likes the GP Circuit at Brands we had high hopes, Friday test went well with Callum improving his times throughout the day and our track walk on Friday night showed up some areas we could improve on. Saturday qualifying...
The start of Callums third season with us has brought about some changes for the 2017 season. For a start we have a new car, Callums last got enough of a hit at Brands Hatch to mean that the shell was a little past its best so we brought out the spare car from...
