Drivers

 ADAM SHARPE

At 20 years of age, Adam was lead driver for the Morgan Works Racing Team at les 24 Heures du Mans 2004, where the team achieved a great finish. He followed this in September 2004 by becoming Team Champion in British GT's Cup class in the Tech 9 Porsche GT3.

The following season, Adam raced with Paul Belmondo Racing (PBR) in les 24 Heures du Mans 2005 and recorded a second place podium finish in the #36 Courage, making him the youngest Briton ever to have taken a prototype podium at the prestigious 24 hour race.

Adam has now raced in UK, France, Belgium, Italy, North Carolina, Florida and Australia, demonstrating skill, determination and a passion for winning. He is a fully Silverstone-qualified ARDS racing driving instructor.

Adam is a thoroughly rounded professional who is well liked as a clean and cool-headed racing driver who races hard whilst showing respect for his fellow grid members. Whether at work on track or collaborating with the press, his team or sponsors, Adam is reliable and committed - a class act with a passion for winning.

 GEORGE HAYNES

George Haynes initially started working with ASM as a mechanic and bodywork specialist. As the team developed, we learned that George was a seasoned race driver, established in the VW Cup Championship and latterly the rear wheel drive Kumho BMW Championship.

George scored his first win in the BMW Championship in the last round of the 2005 season and immediately sought a new challenge. The V8 Falcon was on the top of his wish-list and - after a few nice words to team boss Adam and a quick scan of his CV – George was in the Falcon for the Snetterton night race!

This was his first time in the V8 Falcon, first time in a night race and his first ever endurance race. He partnered Adam and together they scored a great podium, fastest lap and class win. This result saw George again in the V8 Falcon for the final race of the season at Brands Hatch where again he proved himself very well.

2006 sees George Haynes back on the driver list, as he signed with ASM in early January.

 MARK COLE

Mark Cole is a widely experience race driver who has competed in a number of single make series including the Seat Cupra Championship and the Porsche Carrera Cup.

Porsche Carrera Cup Champion Mark Cole was one the pioneer drivers for ASM and co-driver with Adam when they scored a magnificent double victory at Brands Hatch. Mark is not only a tenacious racer but also a very effective test driver, giving valuable feedback to the engineering team members on setup.

He joined the Team again for the last meeting at Brands, where he put the Falcon on pole with a sensational qualifying stint. He is a great admirer of the Falcon and we look forward to seeing him behind its wheel again in 2006.

 ALAN BONNER

Alan shared several races with Adam during the 2005 BritCar series, always showing great skill and reliability - especially around Snetterton, a favourite circuit of his.

Alan is a successful businessman and runner-up of the Entrepreneur of the Year award. His long racing experience helped to provide a firm base for the Team in the early stages of the 2005 series.

 RYAN HOOKER

Ryan is a young and ambitious endurance racing driver who has competed in a number of 6-hour races, the Bathurst 24 Hours race in 2003 and various series in the UK including British GT, BritCar and Britsports.

Ryan and Adam have been long time friends and competitors across a variety of racing including Formula Palmer Audi.

 DEL DELARONDE

Del has be racing for a number of years including saloon cars, endurance racing and LMP2. Del also won the last Snetterton based Willhire 24 hour event and is looking to match that at the newly estabilshed Silverstone based BritCar 24 hours.

The #6 V8 Falcon was driven by Del at the 24 hour event where he and the co-drivers recorded a 3rd place.

Del also runs the sucessful Lifeforce Immune System Bank plc, which has continued to support ASM through 2005 and 2006 in the UK, Europe and Australia.

 CRAIG DAWSON

He helped out with the engineering of the #6 Falcon in 2005 and worked on the Motec data logging system through out the 24 hour race. Not only did he work on the Motec but also drove for ASM in the 24 hours alongside Adam Sharpe, Del DelaRonde and Graham Coombes in the #6 Falcon and recorded a 3rd place.
